Scotland's voice has to be heard

I hope Donald Trump doesn't become president of the United States and I expect the people of the United States will have the good sense not to elect him.

I should say that being independent in the modern model means independent in a very interdependent world. An independent Scotland is not apart from the rest of the United Kingdom.

I think it is disgraceful. I think it is completely disgusting that you've got a candidate for prime minster who seems to think that human beings are bargaining chips.

So after a lovely family Xmas day, this 80s teen is off to bed feeling a bit sad, but listening to this masterpiece [George Michael: I can't make you love me].

This is just too awful. Such an amazing talent [like George Michael] gone too soon. Wham was part of the soundtrack to my teenage years.

Sad to hear that George Michael has died.He was an exceptional artist and a strong supporter of LGBT and workers' rights.

Equality and prosperity shouldn't be seen as enemies of each other, but as partners. One reinforces the other.

True gender equality in Scotland - and elsewhere - is still some way off.

My pledge to you is that the SNP will put women and gender equality right at the heart of the Westminster agenda.

I'm not making any secret of the fact I still believe in independence. We'll continue to argue the case.

Without silence, there cannot be any real appreciation in life, which is as delicate in its inner fabric as a closed rosebud.

You can shape people how ever you like it, but first you have to gain their Trust

It's fun to be creative and innovative and come up with something crazy. So I need people to work with who are not going to be afraid to take it to the left a bit.

I would certainly end up forever crying the blues into a coffee cup in a park for old men playing chess or silly games of some sort.

When thought races ahead of Being, a civilization is racing towards destruction.

I go to parties sometimes until four, it's hard to leave when you can't find the door.

Wise people are never less alone than when they are alone.

All for the Eucharist; nothing for me

The work is not simply about an occupation .. but why you are here.

My heart is a lonely hunter that hunts on a lonely hill.
