Speech is human nature itself, with none of the artificiality of written language.

3 December 2020 Henry Ford

You will find men who want to be carried on the shoulders of others, who think that the world owes them a living. They don’t seem to see that we must all lift together and pull together.

3 December 2020 Daniel Radcliffe

I don’t know why that is, but English politics is just so overly white. It’s very much about the class structure.
