If you saw a heat wave, would you wave back?
Steven WrightI agree with people like Richard Dawkins that mankind felt the need for creation myths. Before we really began to understand disease and the weather and things like that, we sought false explanations for them. Now science has filled in some of the realm – not all – that religion used to fill.
Bill GatesWhen exploring London, you will come across lots of excitement by chance, so try to take everything in rather than just rushing around to all of the major tourist haunts.
Richard BransonHate and force cannot be in just a part of the world without having an effect on the rest of it.
Eleanor RooseveltIt was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.
Charles DickensI have been in meetings where a head of state will say, ‚I like your tie,‘ to a man… or, ‚I like your country because the weather’s good,‘ or whatever. So for me, the pins in some ways were openers.
Madeleine AlbrightYou can’t get too much winter in the winter.
Robert FrostEventually you won’t think of ‚the Internet business.‘ You’ll think of it more like news, weather, sports, but even that taxonomy isn’t clear.
Bill GatesI imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.
James BaldwinWe lived in a tall, narrow Victorian house, which my parents had bought very cheaply during the war, when everyone thought London was going to be bombed flat. In fact, a V-2 rocket landed a few houses away from ours. I was away with my mother and sister at the time, but my father was in the house.
Stephen HawkingPredicting rain doesn’t count. Building arks does.
Warren BuffettThe man who can dominate a London dinner-table can dominate the world.
Oscar WildeI was born in London 1947, after the war. A real wartime baby. I went to school in Brixton, and then I moved up to Yorkshire, which is in the north of England. I lived on the farms up there.
David BowiePeople hate as they love, unreasonably.
William Makepeace ThackerayLightning is something which, again, we would rather avoid.
Richard BransonLondon is a roost for every bird.
Benjamin DisraeliYou find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.
Samuel JohnsonDo not rebuke mockers, or they will hate you; rebuke the wise, and they will love you.
King SolomonI’ve grown accustomed to hotels and drastic climate change.
The WeekndFear, separation, hate and anger come from the wrong view that you and the Earth are two separate entities, the Earth is only the environment. You are in the centre and you want to do something for the Earth in order for you to survive. That is a dualistic way of seeing.
Thich Nhat HanhSunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.
John RuskinMost near-future fictions are boring. It’s always dark and always raining, and people are so unhappy.
Haruki MurakamiThe reason men oppose progress is not that they hate progress, but that they love inertia.
Elbert HubbardLong stormy spring-time, wet contentious April, winter chilling the lap of very May; but at length the season of summer does come.
Thomas CarlyleIt is the flash which appears, the thunderbolt will follow.
VoltaireFor me, often, there’s such a cloud of melancholia about knowing I’m going to have to leave my daughter on her own. I don’t know what age that is going to be, thank God. It just doubles me up in grief.
David BowieI think that the Bible teaches that homosexuality is a sin, but the Bible also teaches that pride is a sin, jealousy is a sin, and hate is a sin, evil thoughts are a sin. So I don’t think that homosexuality should be chosen as the overwhelming sin that we are doing today.
Billy GrahamA broken heart is a very pleasant complaint for a man in London if he has a comfortable income.
George Bernard ShawThe world knows that America will never start a war. This generation of Americans has had enough of war and hate… we want to build a world of peace where the weak are secure and the strong are just.
John F. KennedyI hate going to the gym and doing it the old-fashioned way. I hate anything that’s too straightforward, too routine, too familiar. I get bored really, really quickly.
RihannaBy seeing London, I have seen as much of life as the world can show.
Samuel JohnsonThe weather and my mood have little connection. I have my foggy and my fine days within me; my prosperity or misfortune has little to do with the matter.
Blaise PascalI was born in London in England in 1934. I went through, as a child, the horrors of World War II, through a time when food was rationed and we learned to be very careful, and we never had more to eat than what we needed to eat. There was no waste. Everything was used.
Jane GoodallWhat I hate is nasty, ugly people.
Karl LagerfeldShould there be cameras everywhere in outdoor streets? My personal view is having cameras in inner cities is a very good thing. In the case of London, petty crime has gone down. They catch terrorists because of it. And if something really bad happens, most of the time you can figure out who did it.
Bill GatesI have always loved blizzards, if only because of the driving experience – which is definitely an acquired taste.
Hunter S. ThompsonWhen a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.
Samuel JohnsonThis world of ours… must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.
Dwight D. EisenhowerHave we not come to such an impasse in the modern world that we must love our enemies – or else? The chain reaction of evil – hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars – must be broken, or else we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.
Martin Luther King, Jr.All the world lies warm in one heart, yet the Sierra seems to get more light than other mountains. The weather is mostly sunshine embellished with magnificent storms, and nearly everything shines from base to summit – the rocks, streams, lakes, glaciers, irised falls, and the forests of silver fir and silver pine.
John MuirIt’s very strange to go to cities like London and New York. People walk so quickly, they seem to be in a hurry all the time. And you don’t say ‚Hi‘ to everyone you meet, and you don’t smile to everyone you meet, because there’s just so many. Which is also very strange.
AuroraA smart girl leaves before she is left.
Marilyn MonroeJealousy is just love and hate at the same time.
DrakeThe Bay of Bengal is hit frequently by cyclones. The months of November and May, in particular, are dangerous in this regard.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamI hate to be smart.
Paulo CoelhoPeople from all over the world come to London wanting to make their own mark on it, and they add to the energy and vitality of the capital. It’s got a bit busier since the ’60s, but the more the merrier!
Richard BransonMen hate the individual whom they call avaricious only because nothing can be gained from him.
VoltaireEven in this globalised world, London is still the standard for our times. The city has embraced the world’s diversity and represents the finest in human achievements.
Narendra ModiThose who hate you don’t win unless you hate them, and then you destroy yourself.
Richard M. NixonHate, emotionalism, and frustration are not policies.
Madeleine AlbrightWe spend our time searching for security and hate it when we get it.
John SteinbeckIt is easy to hate and it is difficult to love. This is how the whole scheme of things works. All good things are difficult to achieve; and bad things are very easy to get.
ConfuciusI can remember earning £5,000 a game playing for Hibs at the end of the Seventies. They let me commute from London, train on the Friday and play on Saturday. That lasted until my friends at the Inland Revenue decided to take two-thirds. That wasn’t very entertaining for me.
George BestI didn’t consider myself a fashion designer at all at the time of punk. I was just using fashion as a way to express my resistance and to be rebellious. I came from the country, and by the time I got to London, I considered myself to be very stupid. It was my ambition to understand the world I live in.
Vivienne WestwoodClimate is what we expect, weather is what we get.
Mark TwainIn London, you’ll be walking around and, ‚Oh, there’s the ground.‘ Every area of the city has a Premier League club. They all survive; they all exist with enough money, and that’s good.
Jurgen KloppI was brought up to understand Darwin’s theory of evolution. I spent hours and hours in the Natural History Museum in London looking at the descriptions of how different kinds of animals had evolved, looking at the sequence of fossil bones looking gradually more and more and more and more like the modern fossil.
Jane GoodallIn time we hate that which we often fear.
William ShakespeareLondon is too full of fogs and serious people. Whether the fogs produce the serious people, or whether the serious people produce the fogs, I don’t know.
Oscar WildeThere is no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.
John Ruskin
