"Without women there's no way AI can be better than society at the minute. We need to be involved in the programming."

"I felt like I was at this sort of epicentre where I got to witness the future unfolding in front of my eyes. And I was selfish if I didn't explain it to my mates."

"“my words can’t express gratitude but the smile of a child is the greatest motivation and is enormously rewarding”"

"No matter how big or small, all contributions are meaningful"

""Giving is very important: giving of yourself and giving of your time"."

"You need to believe in yourself and others around you that are able and willing to assist you."

""Honesty and integrity are critical to human behaviour"."

"You have to reflect very closely on decisions you make as they affect not only you but also others around you."

"You need to step back, don’t judge and take a breath"

"Your success is not your own, it is determined by many other influences"

"Being great is being passionate about what you do and seeing the benefit of that through the eyes of other people."

"We can’t afford to be sloppy and just trying to do the right thing."

"There were things I couldn't believe. I couldn't believe how anyone of sound mind would think it is OK to claim expenses on one house in your name and then claim again in your wife's name."

"No one has ever thought of asking me to go to a lap-dancing club. You have to get yourself into a state where no one would DARE to ask you that. You cannot be a submissive young girl."

"Children shouldn’t be going to bed hungry, they shouldn’t be missing out on a basic education, these things are not expensive, they are not hard to solve."

"For as great part of the Island is frequently overflow'd by the Tides, these constant Inundations make the Country full of Lakes and Marshes. In these the Barbarians swim, or wade through them up to their Middle, regardless of Mud or Dirt, as they always go almost naked: For they are ignorant of the Use of Clothes, and only cover their Necks and Bellies with fine Plates of Iron; which they esteem as an Ornament and Sign of Wealth, and are as proud of it, as other Barbarians are of Gold. They likewise dye their Skins with the Pictures of various kinds of Animals; which is one principal Reason for their wearing no Clothes, because they are loth to hide the fine Paintings on their Bodies. But they are a very warlike and fierce People; and arm only with a narrow Shield and Spear, and a Sword hanging by their naked Bodies; unacquainted with the Use of Habergeons and Helmets, which they think would be an Obstruction to their wading through the Ponds and Marshes of their Country: Which perpetually sending up thick gross Vapours, condense the Air and make it always foggy."

"When he pushed through the forest that lined the Strand, With paint on his face and a club in his hand, He was death to feather and fin and fur. He trapped my beavers at Westminster. He netted my salmon, he hunted my deer, He killed my heron off Lambeth Pier. He fought his neighbour with axes and swords, Flint or bronze, at my upper fords, While down at Greenwich, for slaves and tin, The tall Phoenician ships stole in, And North Sea war-boats, painted and gay, Flashed like dragon-flies, Erith way; And Norseman and Negro and Gaul and Greek Drank with the Britons in Barking Creek."

"There are two principal races of the Britons, the Caledonians and the Maeatae, and the names of the others have been merged in these two. The Maeatae live next to the cross-wall which cuts the island in half, and the Caledonians are beyond them. Both tribes inhabit wild and waterless mountains and desolate and swampy plains, and possess neither walls, cities, nor tilled fields, but live on their flocks, wild game, and certain fruits; for they do not touch the fish which are there found in immense and inexhaustible quantities. They dwell in tents, naked and unshod, possess their women in common, and in common rear all the offspring. Their form of rule is democratic for the most part, and they are very fond of plundering; consequently they choose their boldest men as rulers. They go into battle in chariots, and have small, swift horses; there are also foot-soldiers, very swift in running and very firm in standing their ground. For arms they have a shield and a short spear, with a bronze apple attached to the end of the spear-shaft, so that when it is shaken it may clash and terrify the enemy; and they also have daggers. They can endure hunger and cold and any kind of hardship; for they plunge into the swamps and exist there for many days with only their heads above water, and in the forests they support themselves upon bark and roots, and for all emergencies they prepare a certain kind of food, the eating of a small portion of which, the size of a bean, prevents them from feeling either hunger or thirst."

"Here at the world's end, on its last inch of liberty, we have lived unmolested to this day, in this sequestered nook of story; for the unknown is ever magnified. But to-day the uttermost parts of Britain are laid bare; there are no other tribes to come; nothing but sea and cliffs and these more deadly Romans."

"Of all the Britons the inhabitants of Kent, an entirely maritime district, are by far the most civilised, differing but little from the Gallic manner of life. Of the inlanders most do not sow corn, but live on milk and flesh and clothe themselves in skins. All the Britons, indeed, dye themselves with woad, which produces a blue colour, and makes their appearance in battle more terrible. They wear long hair, and shave every part of the body save the head and the upper lip. Groups of ten or twelve men have wives together in common, and particularly brothers along with brothers, and fathers with sons; but the children born of the unions are reckoned to belong to the particular house to which the maiden was first conducted."

"The Britons, a race entirely cut off from the rest of the world."

"Penitus toto divisos orbe Britannos."

"My mum was crying everyday. We worked at home at the time. I would get her breakfast. She would tell me “I can't do this anymore. I can't do this anymore""

"TikTok and Instagram lie at the heart of this case. You, Mahek Bukhari, being an influencer on both platforms. That was the reason you dropped out of university. Had you not done so you would be a young graduate with your whole life ahead of you. But now you confine yourself to prison for all of your best years."

"You are oblivious to the damage you do."

"She was driving an Audi which was a courtesy car that could be traced back to her. Neither Ansreen Bukhari or Mahek Bukhari wore anything covering their faces. The evidence does not establish an intent to kill."

"Some of you are just mean for no reason and it’s weird."

"I'll soon get him jumped by guys and he won't know what day it is. I'll make sure he gets jumped,* he won't know who did it and how."

"SAB’R. Allah is watching, He is listening to your every du’aa."

"You gotta know your worth, even if it does get a little lonely sometimes."

"Who checked up on you today? Exactly, so just focus on yourself."

"[Saqib Hussain] posted a photo of a woman’s naked body with [my mum's] head photoshopped on. He posted it on TikTok... That was sent around the world, globally. Two pictures were posted, one of them was my face. It was the same naked body but with different faces on."

"But the basic pleasure in the hills is the natural environment which can be as fulfilling in later life as rock climbing was in one’s heyday. Equally dangerous when old (and particularly solo) and thus most satisfying to the spirit because the delight in challenges and the pleasure in calculating risks never dies."

"Was I proud to be a pioneer? Apart from my being the first woman guide I wasn’t that different from my peers. Women mountaineers went way back and then there was the generation immediately before me: role models who formed an all-women club three years before I was born."

"The best things about climbing? Unlimited space. I know where I am in mountains. The stillness: not silence because there is always some sound even if it’s no more than a breeze over rock, but there is no noise. Solitude is fine but, even better, just one companion: the other person on the rope with whom there is a bond that transcends any other relationship: trust, faith, an intimacy that is asexual but essential because in the last resort you are each responsible for the other’s life."

"Writing, becoming a successful writer, was a different matter but not unique in the trade. We don’t choose a course in life; our genes dictate the route. I wasn’t born to be a climber and a writer, rather I was inclined to both genetically and the influences arrived: a supportive parent, a perceptive English teacher, favourite authors."

"As a young girl, you don’t look at it as, ‘I can do this,’ because there’s no one doing it"

"I want to be a part of this next step of getting more and more females in the door. And even if I don’t make it, hopefully there’s a whole crop of young talent that’s coming through that I can help."

"As a young girl, you don’t look at it as, I can do this, because there’s no one doing it, I’m a big believer of having more women, not just as drivers but mechanics and engineers"

"It’s definitely challenging as a young female driver trying to overcome those physical barriers,"

"It’s a sport that should be available to men and women to compete equally. There’s very few sports where that’s the case."

"Throughout the journey from the coast to Fatehpur, for instance, the Fathers found that the Hindu temples had been destroyed by the Mohammedans."

"This is the first and most essential thing to learn about India — that there is not, and never was an India, or even any country of India, possessing, according to European ideas, any sort of unity, physical, political, social, or religious ; no Indian nation, no “ people of India,” of which we hear so much. Until we rightly appreciate the significance of such facts we shall, among other things, never understand how our Indian Empire has come into existence, and how this vast dominion is maintained by a handful of Englishmen. There was never, as Professor Seeley has said, any conquest of India by the English, according to the ordinary sense of the word “ conquest.” The conquest was rather, to borrow his expression, “ in the nature of an internal revolution,” directed by English- men, but carried out for the most part through the Natives of India themselves. No superiority of the Englishman would have enabled England to conquer by her own military power the continent of India with its 300 millions of people, nor could she hold it in sub- jection if it had been occupied by distinct nations. In the words of Professor Seeley, “ the fundamental fact is that India had no jealousy of the foreigner, because there was no India, and therefore, properly speaking, no foreigner.” It is a consequence of all this, that in every great Indian province the political sympathies of large sections of the population towards men who, geographically speaking, are their own countrymen, are often as imperfect as they are towards their English masters. We have never destroyed in India a national government, no national sentiment has been wounded, no national pride has been humiliated; and this not through any design or merit of our own, but because no Indian nationalities have existed. They no more exist in the so-called Native States than in our own territories, and the most important of those States are ruled by princes who are almost as much foreigners to their subjects as we are ourselves."

"I'm not advocating this, but if I have to I might even try and use drugs to make up for it, maybe cocaine fuelled sex or something, maybe that can make up for that missed teenage experience."

"I hate it when people say teenage love is overrated.. guys who are virgins until they are older think 'we must think it's like some romantic move or some teenage romance movie'. I don't think of it like that."

"The sayings of the Briton resound with the wisdom of the heart and sage comprehension of life..."

"This country shall remain forever the home of the descendants of those people who came here in peace in order to establish in the South Seas an outpost of the British race."

"To be British seems to us to mean that we respect the laws, the elected parliamentary and democratic political structures, traditional values of mutual tolerance, respect for equal rights and mutual concern; that we give our allegiance to the state (as commonly symbolised by the Crown) in return for its protection."

"I don't fancy you will find any with literary or musical talents among them."

"I believe that the British race is the greatest of the governing races that the world has ever seen... It is not enough to occupy great spaces of the world's surface unless you can make the best of them. It is the duty of a landlord to develop his estate."
