Muriel Spark
“Give me a girl at an impressionable age and she is mine for life.”
Muriel Spark, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie

John Lennon
“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”
John Lennon

“Nostalgia - its delicate, but potent. Teddy told me that in Greek nostalgia literally means “the pain from an old wound.” It’s a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone. This device isn’t a spaceship, it’s a time machine. It goes backwards, and forwards… it takes us to a place where we ache to go again. It’s not called the wheel, it’s called the carousel. It let’s us travel the way a child travels - around and around, and back home again, to a place where we know are loved.”
Don Draper

Muriel Spark
“These years are still the years of my prime. It is important to recognise the years of one's prime, always remember that.”
Muriel Spark, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
