"She knew that this was happiness, this was living as she had always wished to live."

--

Daphne du Maurier

“I think that love is more like a light that you carry. At first childish happiness keeps it lighted and after that romance. Then motherhood lights it and then duty . . . and maybe after that sorrow. You wouldn't think that sorrow could be a light, would you, dearie? But it can. And then after that, service lights it. Yes. . . . I think that is what love is to a woman . . . a lantern in her hand.”
“That's it. I've said all I've got to say on the world of James Bond.”

“Men do not rest content with parrying the attacks of a superior, but often strike the first blow to prevent the attack being made. And we cannot fix the exact point at which our empire shall stop; we have reached a position in which we must not be content with retaining but must scheme to extend it, for, if we cease to rule others, we are in danger of being ruled ourselves. Nor can you look at inaction from the same point of view as others, unless you are prepared to change your habits and make them like theirs.”
“Retirement is unthinkable to me. The future is bright and very exciting and I'm looking forward to playing a part in it.”
“Oppression is allowed to survive because people don't like to talk about it or about acts like what happened. We're hoping to counter some of that with the help of this banner.”
“Some journeys lead nowhere, but they set the spirit free”
“I say we are climbing out of a ditch and we are climbing up.”
