"Don't ask yourself what you did wrong; ask yourself what you did right."

-- John Kessel

“All this, all of this love we're talking about, it would just be a memory. Maybe not even a memory. Am I wrong? Am I way off base? Because I want you to set me straight if you think I'm wrong. I want to know. I mean, I don't know anything, and I'm the first one to admit it.”
“Nobody wants to be associated with failing to qualify for the World Cup finals. I cannot imagine the shame of it.”
“The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a group of more than 2,500 scientists) has provided the world community with first class assessments of the soaring temperatures the world is facing, the devastating impacts of these rises and the ways in which we can try and avoid the worst effects of global warming. We now know climate change is real and the hand of humankind in this warming is becoming clearer and clearer.”
“Wisdom doesn't automatically come with old age. Nothing does - except wrinkles. It's true, some wines improve with age. But only if the grapes were good in the first place.”
“Belgium is modernizing itself and it gives me joy.”
“The challenge we now face is to build on the record of the past, to continue accepting new responsibilities and seeking new opportunities to serve.”
“My bikini, a pair of black high heels and a pair of comfortable jeans.”
“there seem to be times of reception and times of creation and it is perhaps difficult not to confuse the two.”
