Men of power have no time to read; yet the men who do not read are unfit for power.

I have never been in favour of expelling people from the Labour Party.

I certainly think that a Labour Government will have to have effective powers to control the outflow of capital.

I've been on the left of the Party since I joined it about 1934 and I haven't seen much reason for altering... I have always been a strong libertarian both inside the Labour Party and outside... what I want to seek to do over a period of course is to establish a Socialist society.

The only man I knew who could make a curse sound like a caress.
