Characters are like puzzle pieces; my job is to fit into their world and bring them to life

Wanderers eastward, wanderers west, Know you why you cannot rest? ‘Tis that every mother’s son Travails with a skeleton. Lie down in the bed of dust; Bear the fruit that bear you must; Bring the eternal seed to light, And morn is all the same as night.

The last words Albus Dumbledore spoke to the pair of us?? Harry is the best hope we have. Trust him.

The beauty of baseball lies in its ability to bring people together and create lasting memories.

The power of literature is that it brings us inside a person, a situation, a place, and allows us to see the world through their eyes.

We would not be interested in human beings if we did not have the hope of someday meeting someone worse off than ourselves.

But I hope to maintain my credibility after I stop playing. Because, yes of course, now I play and I score goals and children all over are mad about me. Not just poor children – all children. We can make them really happy by the way we play, though I have to say that it’s the poor ones that I think of most, the ones who can’t come and watch the games at the stadium. We mean so much to them. That’s why I’m so committed to this work. Later, after you’ve stopped playing, it’s harder to have the same impact. But I will give it a go. I want to continue doing this kind of work for ever.

I daydream too. I visualise. I think ahead, I can do it now, sitting here.

I feel I am privileged to express hope. The hope is this: that we shall have peace throughout the world, that we shall abolish wars and settle all international differences at the conference table, and that we shall abolish all atom and hydrogen bombs before they abolish us. The future of the modern world demands modern thinking. Therefore, let us use the full force of our intelligence instead of obsolete homicidal methods in settling our international differences.

Faith does not change my circumstances; faith changes me. Faith may not bring in the tuition check when I need it, but faith will give me what it takes to hang on.

It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for a bird to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad

Islam brings hope and comfort to millions of people in my country, and to more than a billion people worldwide. Ramadan is also an occasion to remember that Islam gave birth to a rich civilization of learning that has benefited mankind.
