One of the great privileges of having grown up in a middle-class literary English household, but having gone to school in the front lines in Southeast London, was that I became half-street-urchin and half-good-boy at home. I knew that dichotomy was possible. – Daniel Day-Lewis
Im not keen on history being tampered with… to any extent. – Daniel Day-Lewis
Ireland was a place for the renewal of hope and I still see it like that. – Daniel Day-Lewis
When Ive gone back to work, its always with that sense of inevitability. That may be a complete delusion, but its the one that I need to get out of bed and go about my business. That sense that I cant avoid this thing. I better just get on with it. – Daniel Day-Lewis
Aversion is a form of bondage. We are tied to what we hate or fear. That is why, in our lives, the same problem, the same danger or difficulty, will present itself over and over again in various prospects, as long as we continue to resist or run away from it instead of examining it and solving it. РPata̱jali

For mortals, the easy life of the gods would be a lifeless life. – Hannah Arendt
