Silence holds no fears for me. I never feel the urge to fill it as so many other people do.

‘It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.’

‘Show me a cup of tea and I’ll show you at least two historians attached to it.’

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

Sex is a bit like scratching a rash – it's nice when you stop.

You’ve seen this unit go through historians like laxatives through a short grandmother.
