• The world is a better place to live in because it contains human beings who will give up ease and security in order to do what they themselves think worth doing.

And what they prove to themselves and to others is that Man is no mere creature of his habits, no automaton in his routine, but that in the dust of which he is made there is also fire, lighted now and then by great winds from the sky.

  Walter Lippmann

  Boy and girl meet by the great design,

  Finally you and me are the lucky ones, this time

• A man must be clothed with society, or we shall feel a certain bareness and poverty, as of a displaced and unfurnished member.

• See, if you put a musician in a place where he has to do something different from what he does all the time, then he can do that - but he's got to think differently in order to do it. He's got to play above what he knows - far above it. I've always told the musicians in my band to play what they know and then play above that. Because then anything can happen, and that's where great art and music happens.

  Miles Davis

  deeply?

  Robert Pattinson

Maybe, though the inspector, it was an effect of the distance between them becoming less and less tolerable with each passing day, since as we grow old - for every now and then one must, yes, look reality in the eye and call things by their proper names - we feel more keenly the need to have the person we love beside us.
