Be yourself is about the worst advice you can give to some people.

One of the delights known to age, and beyond the grasp of youth, is that of Not Going.

There was no respect for youth when I was young, and now that I am old, there is no respect for age I missed it coming and going.

They will review a book by a writer much older than themselves as if it were an over-ambitious essay by a second-year student . . . It is the little dons I complain about, like so many corgis trotting up, hoping to nip your ankles.

To show a child what once delighted you, to find the child's delight added to your own -- this is happiness.

I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning...

God can stand being told by Professor Ayer and Marghanita Laski that He doesn't exist.

The more we elaborate our means of communication, the less we communicate.

We plan, we toil, we suffer in the hope of what? A camel-load of idol's eyes? The title deeds of Radio City? The empire of Asia? A trip to the moon? No, no, no, no. Simply to wake just in time to smell coffee and bacon and eggs.

A synopsis is a cold thing. You do it with the front of your mind. If you're going to stay with it, you never get quite the same magic as when you're going all out.

Depending upon shock tactics is easy, whereas writing a good play is difficult. Pubic hair is no substitute for wit.
