The theatre is supremely fitted to say: ''Behold! These things are.'' Yet most dramatists employ it to say: ''This moral truth can be learned from beholding this action.''

My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy your ice cream while it's on your plate - that's my philosophy

Filosofi

Never support two weaknesses at the same time. It's your combination sinners -- your lecherous liars and your miserly drunkards -- who dishonor the vices and bring them into bad repute.

The comic spirit is given to us in order that we may analyze, weigh, and clarify things in us which nettle us, or which we are outgrowing, or trying to reshape

Ande

For what human ill does not dawn seem to be an alleviation?

I know that every good and excellent thing in the world stands moment by moment on the razor-edge of danger and must be fought for...

There's nothing like eavesdropping to show you that the world outside your head is different from the world inside your head

Love is an energy which exists of itself. It is its own value.

Yes. Now you know. Now you know. That's what it was to be alive, to move about in a cloud of ignorance, to go up and down trampling on the feelings of those-- of those about you, to spend and waste time as if you had a million years, to be always at the mercy of one self-centered passion or another. Now you know, that's the 'happy' existence you wanted to go back to. Ignorance and blindness.

Liv

The tiny tealeaf of consciousness spreads its bittersweet smoke through the sea of the primitive mind. Law is invented, then morality, then love, then forgiveness. Thousands and thousands of ideas, knit together over time, each one less practical and more ornamental than the last, all stretched taut above the wandering, wondering heads like a little pavilion; a temporary shelter for the human project.

Ninety-nine per cent of the people in the world are fools and the rest of us are in great danger of contagion.

Every good thing in the world stands on the razor-edge of danger.

A sense of humor judges one's actions and the actions of others from a wider reference . . . and finds them incongruous. It dampens enthusiasm; it mocks hope; it pardons shortcomings; it consoles failure. It recommends moderation.
