"The profound difference that divides the human..." - Quote by Virginia Woolf

“Was there no safety? No learning by heart of the ways of the world? No guide, no shelter, but all was miracle, and leaping from the pinnacle of a tower into the air? Could it be, even for elderly people, that this was life?--startling, unexpected, unknown?”

“Life's bare as a bone.”

“One likes people much better when they're battered down by a prodigious siege of misfortune than when they triumph.”

“My respect for human beings is based not on the colour of a man’s skin nor authority he may wield, but purely on merit.”

“Sing because this is a food our starving world needs. Laugh because that is the purest sound.”

“When untouchability is rooted out, these distinctions will vanish and no one will consider himself superior to any other.”

“From our earliest days in Liverpool, George and I on the one hand and Paul on the other had different musical tastes. Paul preferred 'pop type' music and we preferred what is now called 'underground'. This may have led to arguments, particularly between Paul and George, but the contrast in tastes, I'm sure, did more good than harm, musically speaking, and contributed to our success.”

“Beneath their surface differences, there are a lot of deep, underlying differences.”

“We were totally opposite - me coming from the West Coast and a junior college, and him [ Christopher Reeve] from the hard-core Ivy League. He used to be the studly studly of all studlies, and I was the little fool ferret boy.”
