“I just got fed up with the Protestantism that I'd been brought up with...” — Melvyn Bragg Quote

“I just got fed up with the Protestantism that I'd been brought up with being rubbed out, disregarded. There's an awful lot of frailty and doubt about it, which I understand and share, but there are certain things you just have to acknowledge.”

“It is in our culture that we don't want to admit that our culture is good.”

“Too old at 72? Careful. Ageism is out. We'll have the law on you!”

“One one hand, it's important to hear out the other side and try to reason with them using facts. The problem arises when we can't even agree on what the facts are. I've found myself walking away from debates when the person I'm talking to just won't acknowledge long-established facts.”

“I wanted to acknowledge that life goes on but that death goes on, too. A person who is dead is a long, long story.”

“Sexual harassment and gender discrimination is real, it's far more pervasive than I think people have been willing to acknowledge.”
