“Women stand with their arms folded chatting. They don't sit because all they do is stay at home, take care of the children, clean the house and cook a bit and the men need the chairs. The men sit because they are worn out from walking to the Labour Exchange every morning to sign for the dole, discussing the world's pro less and wondering what to do with the rest of the day.”
― Frank McCourt, Angela's Ashes

“The mind I love must have wild places.”

“It was war, and in war the truth was almost always the first casualty.”
― Vince Flynn, Executive Power

“In secret we met
In silence I grieve,
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive.”
― George Gordon Byron
