Martin Amis Quotes
Is there any good reason why we cannot extend our multi-cultural generosity to include another dimension? That of time. The past, too, is another country.

I am not an optimist, because I am not sure that everything ends well. Nor am I a pessimist, because I am not sure that everything ends badly. I just carry hope in my heart. Hope is the feeling that life and work have a meaning. You either have it or you don't, regardless of the state of the world that surrounds you.

It is as big as life itself.
