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

But there comes a moment in everybody's life when he must decide whether he'll live among the human beings or not -- a fool among fools or a fool alone.

Yes. Now you know. Now you know.

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.

A play visibly represents pure existing.

Nature reserves the right to inflict upon her children the most terrifying jests.
