Alan Bleasdale quotes:

To resist the frigidity of old age, one must combine the body, the mind, and the heart. And to keep these in parallel vigor one must exercise, study, and love.

There is not in nature, a thing that makes man so deformed, so beastly, as doth intemperate anger.

There is a woman at the beginning of all great things.

I've got a group who can't play music, one bad comedian plus boyfriend, a nervous breakdown calling himself a magician, two coachloads of 70-year-old religious maniacs looking for a fight and a fancy-dress contest that nobody knew about.

It's easy to be generous with money. Far harder to be generous with your time.
