The Silencing of Gaza: How Media and Politics Shape Narratives of War. In recent months,…
You can’t always change how others treat you or what they say about you.
But you can change how you react to it.
( Rose Winfold )
Fear is a hammer, and when people are beaten to the point where they feel their existence hangs by a thread, they will be led where they need to go.
I don’t mean to be cocky, but nobody would want to fight me.
( Zoe Saldana )
I slept several times as a kid in a bar on the pool table with a jacket as a pillow.
( Dimitri Verhulst )
I can still remember happier times when the Liberal Democrats were nothing more than a pointless rabble made up of no-hope, hobby politicians cruising the backwaters of Britain, stirring up apathy and spouting inane drivel.
( Richard Lloyd )
I spent most of my childhood running around naked in the middle of nowhere in Australia.
( Abbie Cornish )
Only a mind that is already enslaved would choose a master.
( Rose Winfold )
I like men who are tough but also very fragile.

Mr Cameron would guillotine the Queen in Trafalgar Square if he thought it would keep him in office.

I’m very happy I married a Geordie.
My husband is a very cool, easy-going guy.
( Milla Jovovich )
For most of the hard-working population of Britain, our system of Government has become a vast engine of confiscation.
At every turn we are hammered by brutal taxes.
Our workplace earnings are savaged by income tax, our household bills crippled by VAT and our homes burdened with council tax.
Out on the road we are punished by extortionate fuel duties.
In the air we are hit by passenger duties.
Yet there is little sign of this grand larceny ending soon.
( Leo McKinstry )
I don’t get messed around by anyone, especially not guys.
( Avril Lavigne )
Time stays long enough for those who use it.
( Leonardo da Vinci )
The real conspiracy theorists believe that the government cares about them, the media would never mislead or lie to them, and the pharmaceutical industry wants to cure them.
As long as you live, keep learning how to live.
( Seneca )
I can’t bear men who are constantly aware of themselves and their looks.
( Milla Jovovich )
Welcome to Con country, a nation where every week the gulf widens between the have-nots and the have-yachts.
( Kevin Maguire )
The Tory government, conning the poorly educated every day.
I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet.
The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity.
Without it, no real success is possible.
( Dwight D. Eisenhower )
To Me It Was Just Another Car.
I drive the world’s sexiest car.
I bought myself a Lexus CT 200H, the ‘Kylie Quiet’ car, in obsidian black.
People don’t think of hybrid cars as particularly sexy.
But this one is chic as it gets.
Worth every penny of the £27,500 it cost me.
I’m no petrol head.
I’m not the kind of person who gets all excited at the sight of a car.
I’ve been out with a guy who owned this very expensive Ferrari.
Everyone would stop and look at it in wonderment.
To me it was just another car.
The Lexus is the very first car I’ve fallen in love with.
( Lisa Snowdon )
This Tory-led Government is a hobbling disaster and, sooner or later, Britons will wake up to what is being done in their name.
( Daily Mirror )
It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress.
I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.
( Edgar Allan Poe )
I am not young enough to know everything.
( Oscar Wilde )
The contemptible ConDem strategy is to persuade working people the enemy is the jobless family next door.
While the filthy rich behind their high walls get away with financial murder.
( Kevin Maguire )
My bottom is not insured for a billion dollars, and I don’t spend hours fixating on it.
( Jennifer Lopez )
If you don’t know, the thing to do is not to get scared, but to learn.
( Ayn Rand )
A narrow mind has a broad tongue.
I am still buying Clearasil spot cream for teenagers.
When I stop needing that maybe I will start worrying about ageing.
( Tara Palmer-Tomkinson )
When you’re short of money in your household budget, you cut down or strike non-essentials from your shopping list.
The task for the Government is much the same.
Cut out all non-essential spending of taxpayers’ money on items such as foreign aid, unnecessary wars and, of course, subsidising restaurants and bars at Westminster.
When you think about it, the list is endless.
( Tom Parry )
Persecuting a minority of large families on benefits is a smokescreen.
( Kevin Maguire )
Never tell your secret to anyone.
If you can’t keep it to yourself, don’t expect others to.
Quality means doing it right when no one is looking.
( Henry Ford )
I like straightforward people.
The lack of drama makes life so much easier.
Don’t criticise what you don’t understand.
You never walked in that man’s shoes.
( Elvis Presley )
Victoria Beckham is the funniest person you’ll ever meet.
She’s my friend, because she can make me laugh so hard.
( Jennifer Lopez )
I learned to drive at the age of 12 and I’m still obsessed with cars.
My dad taught me to drive our old truck and I just used to career around the place.
Where I come from kids can drive when they’re ten years old and no one thinks anything of it.
I love to drive, I love speed and I love blasting out music and just pelting off on my own.
( Abbie Cornish )
The Tory-led coalition needs to show some courage by supporting rather than punishing the British people.
( Leo McKinstry )
If they feel threatened or frightened, the majority of people will believe most things the government tell them.
Critically-thinking people will look for the truth, for any deception, and who might profit from the smokescreen of fear.
Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m Possible’.
( Audrey Hepburn )
The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.
When you die, people often cry and wish you were back with them.
When you was alive, the same people didn’t even show they cared.
For all the virtues will be present when the one virtue, practical wisdom, is present.
( Aristotle )
The greatest mistake, and also the gravest mistake we humans have made, is believing we have the right and the authority to treat the Earth and its inhabitants how we please.
My tastes are simple.
I am easily satisfied with the best.
( Winston S Churchill )
I generally avoid temptation unless I can’t resist it.
( Mae West )
I’m Naturally Quite Scatty.
The best journeys are the unplanned ones.
Nothing beats a random car ride.
There’s a great sense of freedom in simply jumping into your motor and heading off into the unknown.
In November 2010 I drove from Casablanca to Essaouira in Morocco with a friend and it was the most idyllic journey.
Learning to drive was one of my greatest accomplishments.
I only got round to it 18 months ago at the age of 38.
It was something that looked as if it would never happen.
My not being able to drive had become a family in-joke.
My problem was that I didn’t trust myself.
I’m naturally quite scatty.
In LA, where everyone drives from the age of 16, they would assume there was something wrong with me.
So I decided it was time to tick it off my list of things to do.
I passed first time.
( Lisa Snowdon )
All governments suffer a recurring problem.
Power attracts pathological personalities.
It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible.
He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.
( Epictetus )
I’d rather walk alone on a path of truth than follow those with enslaved minds who refuse to critically think for themselves.
To oppose corruption in government is the highest obligation of patriotism.
I love sleep.
My life has the tendency to fall apart when I’m awake.
( Ernest Hemingway )
