Everyone confesses that exertion which brings out all the powers of body and mind is the best thing for us; but most people do all they can to get rid of it, and as a general rule nobody does much more than circumstances drive them to do.
- Harriet Beecher Stowe - "The Lady Who Does Her Own Work" in The Atlantic Monthly (1864)
I believe the only reality is how we treat each other. The
morality comes from the absence of any grander scheme, not from the
presence of any grander scheme.
--Joss Whedon
On being told by Bessie Braddock MP: "Winston, you are drunk, and what's more you are disgustingly drunk" he replied "Bessie, my dear, you're ugly, and what's more you are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly."
No source can validate the truth of that quote----- but it DOES sound like Winnie!
