“It's life's illusions that I recall, I really don't know life at all”
Joni Mitchell (1943) Canadian musician
“Religion's Meaning when I would recall,
Love is to me the plainest Word of all.”
John Byrom (1692–1763) Poet, inventor of a shorthand system
St. 1 & 2
Miscellaneous Poems (1773), Divine Love, The Essential Characteristic of True Religion
Context: Religion's Meaning when I would recall,
Love is to me the plainest Word of all.
Plainest, — because that what I love, or hate,
Shews me directly my internal State;
By its own Consciousness is best defin'd
Which way the Heart within me stands inclin'd. On what it lets its Inclination rest,
To that its real Worship is address'd;
Whatever Forms or Ceremonies spring
From Custom's Force, there lies the real Thing;
Jew, Turk or Christian be the Lover's Name,
If same the Love, Religion is the same.
Roland Barthes (1915–1980) French philosopher, critic and literary theorist

“I got the recall, the second audition. That was when I started sweating.”
Karen Gillan (1987) Scottish actress and former model
On at first being relaxed in her auditions for the role of Amy Pond, thinking she "hadn't a hope in hell" of getting the part, as quoted in "Karen Gillan: Meet Doctor Who's new assistant" in The Guardian (14 March 2010) http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/2010/mar/14/karen-gillan-doctor-who <br class="br">Context: I got the recall, the second audition. That was when I started sweating. This huge thing. And it was so secretive I couldn't even tell BBC reception where I was going, had to pretend it was for something called Panic Moon, which is an anagram of companion.
