I’m leaving because the weather is too good. I hate London when it’s not raining.

There’s nowhere else like London. Nothing at all, anywhere.

Should 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.

I 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.

Do not rebuke mockers, or they will hate you; rebuke the wise, and they will love you.

I don’t care about hate and threats from climate crisis deniers. I just ignore them.

For 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.

I 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.

I 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.

Jealousy is just love and hate at the same time.

I’ve lived in good climate, and it bores the hell out of me. I like weather rather than climate.

It 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.

London 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.

A broken heart is a very pleasant complaint for a man in London if he has a comfortable income.

Lightning is something which, again, we would rather avoid.

One of the triumphs of the Civil Rights Movement is that when you travel through the South today, you do not feel overwhelmed by a residue of grievance and hate.

If you think it’s going to rain, it will.

We do not hate as long as we still attach a lesser value, but only when we attach an equal or a greater value.

The long, dull, monotonous years of middle-aged prosperity or middle-aged adversity are excellent campaigning weather for the devil.

People 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!

We spend our time searching for security and hate it when we get it.

Long stormy spring-time, wet contentious April, winter chilling the lap of very May; but at length the season of summer does come.

A smart girl leaves before she is left.

Even 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.

There is no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.

It’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.

I have always loved blizzards, if only because of the driving experience – which is definitely an acquired taste.

We 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.

When 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.

I 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.

What I hate is nasty, ugly people.

Climate is what we expect, weather is what we get.

The reason men oppose progress is not that they hate progress, but that they love inertia.

It 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.

Only the unloved hate; the unloved and the unnatural.

London is a modern Babylon.

Those who hate you don’t win unless you hate them, and then you destroy yourself.

I’ve grown accustomed to hotels and drastic climate change.

What a nice night for an evening.

Fear, 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.

It is the flash which appears, the thunderbolt will follow.

Hate, emotionalism, and frustration are not policies.

The man who can dominate a London dinner-table can dominate the world.

Conversation about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative.

The man of knowledge must be able not only to love his enemies but also to hate his friends.

Eventually 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.

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.

The 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.

The Bermuda Triangle got tired of warm weather. It moved to Alaska. Now Santa Claus is missing.

I 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.

This world of ours… must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.

In time we hate that which we often fear.

Sunshine 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.

Thaw with her gentle persuasion is more powerful than Thor with his hammer. The one melts, the other breaks into pieces.

The world is a fine place and worth the fighting for and I hate very much to leave it.

When I left Dortmund, I said it’s not important what people think when you come in but what they think when you leave.

I 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.

I 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.

If you saw a heat wave, would you wave back?

I 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.

I hate to be smart.
