Ladies and gentlemen it is with great sadness that I announce that I will resign as Australia's Minister for Foreign Affairs. I am sad because I love this job. I'm totally dedicated to the work that we are doing in Australia's name around the world and I believe that we have achieved many good results for Australia and I'm proud of them.

At that time I feel sad and I feel no one knows how hard I work and how many tears. They only know the score. At that time I feel very lonely because no one understands since they haven't been world No. 1 before.

Marketing has supplanted story as the primary force behind the worthiness of making a film and that's a very sad thing. It's film only as a function of consumerism rather than as an important component of our culture and that's everywhere around the world.

It makes me so desperately sad to witness just how unforgivably wretched our world has become.

The attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon shook our nation to the core. Americans were deeply frightened sad and angry and they rallied around a President who at the time showed impressive certitude and calm.

That is sad until one recalls how many bad books the world may yet be spared because of the busyness of writers.

I am an optimist unrepentant and militant. After all in order not to be a fool an optimist must know how sad a place the world can be. It is only the pessimist who finds this out anew every day.

I hold the world but as the world Gratiano A stage where every man must play a part And mine is a sad one.

In this world full often our joys are only the tender shadows which our sorrows cast.

Isn't it sad to go to your grave without ever wondering why you were born? Who with such a thought would not spring from bed eager to resume discovering the world and rejoicing to be part of it?

Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world. We cannot cure the world of sorrows but we can choose to live in joy.

Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.

When I was a teenager I was a total romantic escapist. My world was books.

Hugh Grant is the main man. He's the number one romantic comedy man in the world.

Any romantic feelings for a 12-year-old are like entering into a fantasy world.

When I start to write words have become physical presence. It was to see if I could bring that private world to life that found its first expression through reading. I really dislike the romantic notion of the artist.

Latin men are the most passionate men in the world - they may not be the most aggressive but they are very passionate very romantic.

I regard romantic comedies as a subgenre of sci-fi in which the world operates according to different rules than my regular human world.

Deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.

Out of respect to writers you have to read the book in the way in which the author visualised it going out into the world.

In parallel with the development of my interests in technical gadgetry I began to acquire a profound love of and respect for the natural world which motivates my scientific thinking to this day.

That is a Medieval way of drawing history in which they do not respect the law and want the rest of the world to respect the law. That's not possible.

I did learn that it was the greatest thing in the world to respect yourself. Respect other people.

Thus it was to seek true civilization and true justice for all the peoples of the world and to view this as the destruction of personal freedom and respect is to be assailed by the hatred and emotion of war and to make hasty judgments.
