“Mortals are easily tempted to pinch the life out of their neighbour's ...” — George Eliot Quote

“Mortals are easily tempted to pinch the life out of their neighbour's buzzing glory, and think that such killing is no murder.”

“We hand folks over to God's mercy, and show none ourselves.”

“But what we call our despair is often only the painful eagerness of unfed hope.”

“If you get off to a good start your confidence is high and you're buzzing. Everyone's feeling great coming to the rink and practice. You lose the first four games then all of the sudden everyone's panicking and no one has confidence.”

“You do doubt yourself and question yourself. You go from massive highs and confidence boosters - when I was in New York I was buzzing around the place - to really doubting yourself and questioning everything about your personality.”

“I can't distract myself enough here, for sketches to a new opera are constantly buzzing around in my head, to the extent that I need all my strength to wrest myself from them.”
