“I had this extraordinarily bizarre moment when, two Fridays ago, my missus gave birth to our second child at 11am and by the same time the following day I was sitting around a table with Ridley Scott, Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio in Rabat in Morocco, rehearsing a scene we were going to shoot the next day.” ChildrenTwoMomentsNextBirthSceneSittingTablesFollowingNext DayBizarreFridaySitting AroundLeonardoRehearsingMoroccoSitting Around A Table Author:Mark Strong
“The Psalms offer us a way of joining in a chorus of praise and prayer that has been going on for millennia and across all cultures. Not to try to inhabit them, while continuing to invent non-psalmic 'worship' based on our own feelings of the moment, risks being like a spoiled child who, taken to the summit of Table Mountain with the city and the ocean spread out before him, refuses to gaze at the view because he is playing with his Game Boy” WayTryingChildrenHas BeensMomentsFeelingsCultureGamesPrayerViewsCitiesBoysTakenRiskOffersMountainOceanWorshipPraiseTablesRefuseSpreadContinuingSummitJoiningSpoiledChorusPsalmsSpoiled ChildrenJoining In Author:N.

“It is a dreadful thing to see the dead city. Next to the port I found children, women, the old, waiting for a way to leave.

“Labor, like Israel, has many sorrows. Its women weep for their fallen and they lament for the future of the children of the race. It ill behooves one who has supped at labor's table and who has been sheltered in labor's house to curse with equal fervor and fine impartiality both labor and its adversaries when they become locked in deadly embrace.” ChildrenHas BeensHouseRaceFineSorrowEqualLaborTablesEmbraceIllIsraelCurseFallenLockedAdversariesLamentFervorImpartiality Author:John L.

“"One of the advantages of having laws is the pleasure one may take in breaking them. We here are not children, Mr. Gurgeh." Hamin waved the pipestem round the tables of people. "Rules and laws exist only because we take pleasure in doing what they forbid, but as long as most of the people obey such proscriptions most of the time, they have done their job; blind obedience would imply we are - ha!" - Hamin chuckled and pointed at the drone with the pipe - "no more than robots!"” PeopleMayChildrenLongDoneJobsLawPleasureAdvantageTablesBlindRoundsObedienceRobotsPipeDronesBlind Obedience Author:Iain Banks
