“The National Health Service is safe with us. The principle of adequate healthcare should be provided for all regardless of ability to pay must be the function of any arrangements for financing the NHS. We stand by that.”

“My hope is Donald Trump makes things better. And if he does, we'll all benefit from it.”

“What does an actor know about politics?”

“The heart of a statesman should be in his head.”

“She eyes me like a pisces.”

“The world is emblematic. Parts of speech are metaphors, because the whole of nature is a metaphor of the human mind.”

What a sly thing my subconscious was, to name them thus. And not tell me!”
