 There is no more somber enemy of good art than the pram in the hall

 There is no pain equal to that which two lovers can inflict on one another. This should be made clear to all who contemplate such a union. The avoidance of this pain is the beginning of wisdom, for it is strong enough to contaminate the rest of our lives.

 Those of us who were brought up as Christians and have lost our faith have retained the sense of sin without the saving belief in redemption. This poisons our thought and so paralyses us in action.

 Those whom the Gods would destroy, they first call promising.

 Today the function of the artist is to bring imagination to science and science to imagination, where they meet, in the myth.
