I'm terrified of motorcycles. I've been on one a couple of times. I did not like it.

My optimism wears heavy boots and is loud.

Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.

No such thing as spare time, no such thing as free time, no such thing as down time. All you got is life time. Go.

I am an optimist because I want to change things for the better and I know that blood has to be spilled and disharmony and cruelty are necessary to do that.

I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds

I'm French. I have not become an Englishman. I have the impression of living on an island called Arsenal. If you fancy a sightseeing tour of London, don't ask me. You would get lost.

It's an old saying that one still has to know something, despite everything.

Thank you... motion sensor hand towel machine. You never work, so I just end up looking like I'm waving hello to a wall robot.

Mankind may amuse themselves with theoretic systems of liberty... but we can only discern its true value by the practical and wretched effects of slavery.

I require myself not to be equal to the best, but to be better then the bad.

I've had many nicknames over the years: V, Nessa, Nessy Poo, Nessy Bear and Van. Only my parents call me Van, though, and I hate it. I get embarrassed.
