You can't just say there is a god because the world is beautiful. You have to account for bone cancer in children

I have a dark and dreadful secret. I write poetry... I believe poetry is a primal impulse within all of us. I believe we are all capable of it and furthermore that a small, often ignored corner of us positively yearns to try it.

Christmas to a child is the first terrible proof that to travel hopefully is better than to arrive.

If I had a large amount of money I should certainly found a hospital for those whose grip upon the world is so tenuous that they can be severely offended by words and phrases and yet remain all unoffended by the injustice, violence and oppression that howls daily about our ears.

That's alright, said Hugo. I've got some wine Which was about all he seemed to have. He poured out two mugfuls. Very nice, said Adrian, sipping appreciatively. I wonder how they got the cat to sit on the bottle. It's cheap, that's the main thing.

Stop wanting wealth and fame and start wanting instead to do something well about which you are passionate

I think Eros should be dirty. In Greek legend, as I'm sure you are aware, he fell in love with the minor deity Psyche. It was the Greek way of saying that, in spite of what it may believe, Love pursues the Soul, not the body the Erotic desires the Psychic. If Love was clean and wholesome he wouldn't lust after Psyche.

I think the fact that I'm so well known to be gay makes it very difficult to have a convincing relationship with a woman on screen. It wouldn't be at all difficult for me to kiss a woman - I'll kiss a frog if you like.

The people I know who swear the most tend to have the widest vocabularies.

Philosophy is an odd thing... There is no particular Socratic or Dimechian or Kantian way to live your life. They don't offer ethical codes and standards by which to live your life.

It is a little theory of mine that has much exercised my mind lately, that most of the problems of this silly and delightful world derive from our apologising for those things which we ought not to apologise for, and failing to apologise for those things for which apology is necessary.
