"In the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make."
"I can't manage without homeopathy. In fact, I never go anywhere without homeopathic remedies. I often make use of them."
"The long and winding road that leads to your door / Will never disappear, / I've seen that road before it always leads me here, / Leads me to your door."

I tell people, We've beaten into submission every animal on the face of the Earth, so we are the clear winners of whatever battle is going on between the species. Couldn't we be generous? I really do think it's time to get nice. No need to keep beating up on them. I think we've got to show that we're kind."
