My job is to save the f**king wilderness. I don't know anything else worth saving.
Edward Abbey
The poet's business is not to save the soul of man but to make it worth saving.
James Elroy Flecker
I would never save her. I looked at the woman mopping up the tea, and it came to me that I could not save her either. Enola or the cat or any of them, lost here in the endless stairways and cul-de-sacs of time. They were already dead a hundred years, past saving. The past is beyond saving. Surely that was the lesson the history department sent me all this way to learn. Well, fine, I’ve learned it. Can I go home now?
Connie Willis
We don't bother much about dress and manners in England, because as a nation we don't dress well and we've no manners.
George Bernard Shaw
Each boat is worth the price of a new university and they are watched by gin-soaked yachting types, male and female, in captain's hats lounging in deckchairs inside Perspex covered enclosures at the front of yet more expensive, floating country houses representing nothing more than elegantly vulgar expressions of dodgy wealth. The America's Cup.
