This is ridiculous, I mean, wholly ridiculous. It never did any child any harm to have something that was a tiny bit above them anyway, and I claim that anyone who can follow Doctor Who can follow absolutely anything.
Diana Wynne Jones

Those who claim to have had happy lives seem to be silly fools.
Taylor Caldwell

Those who dare to interpret God's will must never claim Him as an asset for one nation or group rather than another.
Robert Runcie

William B. Riley

To reduce this claim of slavery to an absurdity, it is only necessary to add that there are only two states in which slaves are a majority, and not one in which the slaveholders are not a very disproportionate minority.
William H. Seward

Tolerance is giving to every other human being every right that you claim for yourself.
Robert Green Ingersoll

We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born. Astrology does not lay claim to anything more.

Roland Barthes

What is buried in the past of one generation falls to the next to claim.

Richard Foreman
