- I like not only to be loved, but also to be told that I am loved. I am not sure that you are of the same mind. But the realm of silence is large enough beyond the grave. This is the world of light and speech, and I shall take leave to tell you that you are very dear. ~ George Eliot

- I'm not a politician, I'm a musician. I care about giving people a place where they can go to enjoy themselves and to begin to live again. To the man you have to give the spirit, and when you give him the spirit, you have done everything. ~ Luciano Pavarotti (recent death)

- Soldiers are citizens of death's grey land,
Drawing no dividend from time's to-morrows.
In the great hour of destiny they stand,
Each with his feuds, and jealousies, and sorrows.

- What voice revisits me this night? What face
To my heart’s room returns?
From the perpetual silence where the grace
Of human sainthood burns
Hastes he once more to harmonise and heal?
I know not. Only I feel
His influence undiminished
And his life’s work, in me and many, unfinished.
~ Siegfried Sassoon ~- proposed by Kalki

There is no me. I do not exist. There used to be a me but I had it surgically removed. ~ Peter Sellers (date of birth)- 3 Kalki 23:23, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
2 Kalki 16:28, 7 September 2005 (UTC) I would rank this at least a 3 normally, but it is not sourced and there are several variants, thus the accuracy of any of them is in doubt.with a very strong lean toward 4. - 2 InvisibleSun 15:39, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

* 2 Kalki 16:28, 7 September 2005 (UTC)I would rank this higher, with a 3, or even a 4, but it is not sourced, and I have not yet found much to go on definitely tying it or anything like it to Sellers. - 2 InvisibleSun 15:39, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Oh, he tells me tears are something to hide
And something to fear
And I try so hard to keep it inside
So no one can hear.
"Hush, hush, keep it down now.
Voices carry."

I realize what you've sold me
is love in a vacuum.

Little tornado
You and the hurricane
Close your eyes and go campaign
Make it go faster
Baby go faster
Make it go twice the speed of you and me
