• On the day we filmed the scene, a bee stung me. I screamed and cried so much they called a doctor, and my father said, "It can't hurt that badly!" But it wasn't the pain that upset me, it was the thought that I mightn't be in the film. Already the little professional.

• I am over-run, jungled in my bed, I am infested with a menagerie of desires: my heart is eaten by a dove, a cat scrambles in the cave of my sex, hounds in my bed obey a whipmaster who cries nothing but havoc as the hours test my endurance with an accumulation of tortures. Who, if I cried, would hear me among the angelic orders?

• God said,--"Let there be light!"
  Grim darkness felt His might,
  And fled away;
  Then startled seas and mountains cold
  Shone forth, all bright in blue and gold,
  And cried--"'Tis day! 'tis day!"
  "Hail, holy light!" exclaim'd
  The thunderous cloud that flam'd
  O'er daisies white;
  And lo! the rose, in crimson dress'd,
  Lean'd sweetly on the lily's breast;
  And blushing murmur'd--Light!

• The sum of all that makes a just man happy
  Consists in the well choosing of his wife:
  And there, well to discharge it, does require
  Equality of years, of birth, of fortune;
  For beauty being poor, and not cried up
  By birth or wealth, can truly mix with neither.
  And wealth, when there's such difference in years,
  And fair descent, must make the yoke uneasy.

• Charles Dickens' creation of Mr. Pickwick did more for the elevation of the human race - I say it in all seriousness - than Cardinal Newman's Lead Kindly Light Amid the Encircling Gloom. Newman only cried out for light in the gloom of a sad world. Dickens gave it.

• It was served of the Jesuits, that they constantly inculcated a thorough contempt of worldly things in their doctrines, but eagerly grasped at them in their lives.

• I was self-conscious of being so lanky, of being me. I'd keep my head down, make excuses not to go out. I'd look in the mirror and hate myself. I thought I was disgusting.
