Two Thoughts For The Day: Tony Benn

"Ageing is a form of liberation. You become a Buddhist by default because you rid yourself of all kinds of desire.”

“ ‘Thatcher, Thatcher, Thatcher, out, out, out!’ didn’t amount to much given it turned into ‘Blair, Blair, Blair, in, in, in’.  I became more radical because, when I became a minister, I realised we need rather more than a change of government to make a real difference.”

Tony Benn, 85, The Times.
