I believe that before anything else I'm a human being; just as much as you are... or at any rate I shall try to become one.

I must think things out for myself and try to understand them. ~Henrik Ibsen

But during the administration of the present President we have had neither agreement nor a clear-cut battle. ~Franklin D. Roosevelt

I was never one to go up to someone as a five- or six-year-old and say, "Hello, my name's Paul, will you be my friend?" But I found if I did an impression of the PE teacher or whatever and people laughed, then they did like me, and so then they started talking to me, rather than me making the initial overture and then maybe being rebuffed. ~Paul Merton
