They were called names like The Cheshire Cat and they asked sensible questions like "Did you say pig, or fig?")

He is a passionate advocate for what he believes, and I welcome him to the race.

• A man who does not endeavour to seem more than he is will generally be thought nothing of.

• The vow of silence, that's the mind-blower. See, talking is what I do... i t's a real need with me, a craving, I'm like a word junkie. I never shut up. I talk to myself, I talk in my sleep. The idea of voluntarily turning off that tap, I can't imagine it It'd be like, I don't know, all the rivers in the world just slammed to a stop. No churning, no flowing, no white water, just stillness, crushing stillness. I don't think I could stand it, locked up like that in my own psyche. I'd collapse into myself, I'd implode
