[I] browsed far outside science in my reading and attended public lectures - Bertrand Russell, H. G. Wells, Huxley, and Shaw being my favorite speakers.

Raymond Cattell

I'm fascinated by Greta Garbo. My cat's named Greta, and I have a framed photograph of her from 1949.

Jane Lynch

I could be the Greta Garbo of comedy, very secluded, but Garbo had a man who was beyond rich to support her.

Joan Rivers

I think familiarity breeds contempt. I mean, we'll never get another Greta Garbo will we? Someone would go in with a camera Sellotaped to the bottom of a tray trying to get film of her with no make-up on.

Alan Carr

Reading the several thousand pages of Christopher Isherwood's complete journals is an instructive corrective to the prissiness of reading fiction. Isherwood had faults that we'd say were unforgiveable in a novel (he was careful to distance himself from these in his autobiographical fiction).

Edmund White

"I want to be a lawn." Greta Garbo.

W. C. Sellar

Once, I was a bigger star than Greta Garbo.

Luise Rainer

In the old days, a star was someone up there - you know, Greta Garbo - but a telly star was somebody you could approach.

Diana Rigg

Russell's prose has been compared by T.S. Eliot to that of David Hume's. I would rank it higher, for it had more color, juice, and humor. But to be lucid, exciting and profound in the main body of one's work is a combination of virtues given to few philosophers. Bertrand Russell has achieved immortality by his philosophical writings.

Sidney Hook

You can compare me with Greta Garbo. I have big feet, too.

Lee Remick

Bertrand Russell would not have wished to be called a saint of any description; but he was a great and good man.

A.J. Ayer

Greta Garbo: A deer in the body of a woman, living resentfully in the Hollywood zoo.

Clare Boothe Luce

[One of my kids ]is not named after Aldous Huxley. I haven't even read Brave New World!

Charlie Brooker

I know LSD; I don't need to take it anymore. Maybe when I die, like Aldous Huxley.

Albert Hofmann

It would have been amazing to have been a student at Oxford during that golden moment in the 1910s, rubbing elbows with the likes of Aldous Huxley and T.E. Lawrence, before World War I shattered everything forever.

Kevin Kwan

I discovered Christopher Isherwood in college. His writing style is so direct, warm, and inclusive.

Claire Danes
