With the world's fate resting on your shoulder - you're gonna need someone on your side.You can't do it by yourself any longer - you're gonna need someone on your side.

With no reason to hide these words I feel, and no reason to talk about the books I read, but still, I do.

I hate most people. And I don__ want to, it__ an awful way to be. But the human race gives me no comfort. I find myself turning to books and films for comfort still. It__ repulsive, because one__ life consists of people, not things.

I just don't have a tremendously strong belief that relationships can work. I'm really quite convinced that they don't. And if they do, it's really quite terribly brief and sporadic.

I was wasting my time, praying for love.For a love that never comes, from someone who does not exist.

There's so much destruction all over the world - and all you can do is complain about ME!

Now this might disturb you, but I find I'm OK by myself;and I don't need you or your benevolence to make sense.

I can chase you, and I can catch you,but there is nothing I can do to make you mine.

I hated the royal wedding.

Any criticism of Thatcher throws a dangerously absurd light on the entire machinery of British politics. Thatcher's name must be protected, not because of all the wrong that she had done, but because the people around her allowed her to do it.

I don't want to go on much longer, really. I think that would suggest a lack of imagination. A certain lack of dignity also.

I am unable to watch the Olympics due to the blustering jingoism that drenches the event. Has England ever been quite so foul with patriotism? The 'dazzling royals' have, quite naturally, hi-jacked the Olympics for their own empirical needs, and no oppositional voice is allowed in the free press.

If you travel to Germany, it's still absolutely Germany. If you travel to Sweden, it still has a Swedish identity.

Don't leave it all unsaid,somewhere in the wasteland of your head.

God, come down, if you're really there -Well, you're the one who claims to care!

Tried living in the real world instead of a shell, but I was bored before I even began.

What's the first thing I do when I wake up in the morning? Wish I hadn't.

Age shouldn't affect you. It's just like the size of your shoes - they don't determine how you live your life! You're either marvellous or you're boring, regardless of your age.
