I read a fantastic quote the other day, and toyed with starting this thread, and for the life of me can't remember what the quote was.

But stumbled on this one this morning and thought, no time like the present.


"As far as I'm concerned, I prefer silent vice to ostentatious virtue." - Albert Einstein

My favourite is


Dorothy Parker on being challenged to use the word ?horticulture? in a sentence said, ?You can bring a horticulture but you can?t make her think?.


Some others I like


?Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don?t like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.?

Bill Shankly


?a perpendicular expression of a horizontal desire.?

George Bernard Shaw talking about dancing


?either the wallpaper goes or I do.?

Last words of Oscar Wilde


?I never forget a face, but in your case I?ll be glad to make an exception.?

A: Groucho Marx

    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance). 
    • Truly horrific. Being passive or fighting back is what many of us think about by violent theft. 
    • What ridiculous waste of money 
    • Lots of good primary schools within reach of there. Fairlawn, Goodrich, Ivydale and Horiman. Secondary schools you will definitely get into the Harris Academies or Sydenham Girls or Forest Hill Boys, you might just be on the boundary for the East Dulwich or North Dulwich Charter but it changes every year.
