"Since first I saw your face I resolved to honour and renown ye, If now I be disdained I wish my heart had never known ye. What? I that loved and you that liked shall we begin to wrangle? No, no no, my heart is fast, and cannot disentangle."

"Yet if his majesty our sovereign lord Should of his own accord Friendly himself invite, And say "I'll be your guest to-morrow night." How should we stir ourselves, call and command All hands to work! Let no man idle stand. [...] For 'tis a duteous thing To show all honour to an earthly king, [...] But at the coming of the King of Heaven All's set at six and seven: We wallow in our sin, Christ cannot find a chamber in the inn.

"Ever since the days of old the Navy's ruled the waves. For years they've told the world that Britain's never shall be slaves.

"I think Harry Potter works so well because at the core of it, if you think about it, it’s about a kid that is suffering child abuse and finds his family not in family, but in friends. I think that’s such an amazing message and, obviously, it’s coupled with magic, which we all want to want to be real, all of us. And it’s coupled with really trying to process death as well, which is why I think it’s such a successful thing. Because it does all those things for children, but for adults as well."

"I do some conventions and that’s always really nice because you get to meet fans, But at the same time, a lot of people, they might have a favorite character, but it’s more that they’re not really thinking about you.

"Hit the first stage of the hibernation This perfect darkness is a weird sensation Escape from a nation of twisted creatures where their features are lost in accrued stagnation Like a treasure chest I rest in a cave I have to be brave, there's too much to crave 'cause it hurts me dearly to leave the scheme Will I see more clearly when I lose the team?"

"And then you stepped into my life and changed my rainy day, ay ay. Now every rule I live my life by I can safely say It's all for you babe, I'll tell them straight It's all good today though we'll make mistakes And then come Tuesday we'll still be best mates"

I'm playing in the shadows all night long So good to play with bad girls (I'm still young) They keep on saying hello I know what they want You'll find me in the shadows"

"[Her] When I look at you, yeah, there'll never be a day where I'll be afraid. When I look you, yeah, there'll never be a day when I doubt myself.

"I don't know why it happened so fast When I tried to speak your language I'm happy you laughed 'cause I'm hardly a linguist spoke through kisses cos you didn't speak English and it was hard to distinguish love at first sight or holiday romance?

"Everything I promised you was there but I was late. Broke in two I used to blame the substance So confused but I carry no substance Lost in a cave like Sons of Mumford Kept moaning zoning in the comfort Now I blame myself Went downhill just to up my numbers You only need one, what's the point of hundreds? And I never did ask. (You said the answer would be "Yes".) I killed us, had tools to build us a castle but I never played chess Bad guess, made the wrong move Queen takes King, now I've been removed: out the back door like a famous actor Cut us in half like stupid tax laws"
