I don't think pornography is harmful, but it is terribly, terribly boring.

Noel Coward 156 quotes

It's no use to go and take courses in playwriting any more than it's much use taking courses in acting. Better play to a bad matin?e in Hull, it will teach you much more than a year of careful instruction.

I also avoid green vegetables. They're grossly overrated.

There are bad times just around the corner, There are dark clouds travelling through the sky, And it's no good whining, About a silver lining, For we know from experience they won't roll by...

I want a horse and plough, Chickens too, Just one cow, With a wistful moo.

It's such a surprise for the Eastern eyes to see, That though the English are effete They're quite impervious to heat.

Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the mid-day sun; The Japanese don't care to, the Chinese wouldn't dare to; Hindus and Argentines sleep firmly from twelve to one, But Englishmen detest a siesta.

Comedies of manners swiftly become obsolete when there are no longer any manners.

A bloody good thing, but too late.

Running is the classical road...

Running is the classical road to self-consciousn ess, self-awareness and self-reliance. Independence is the outstanding characteristic of a runner. He learns the harsh reality of his physical and spiritual limitations when he runs. He learns that personal commitment, sacrifice and determination are his only means to betterment. Runners get promoted only through self-conquest.

Your motivation is your pay packet on Friday. Now get on with it.

Any part of the piggy Is quite all right with me Ham from Westphalia, ham from Parma Ham as lean as the Dalai Lama Ham from Virginia, ham from York, Trotters Sausages, hot roast pork. Crackling crisp for my teeth to grind on Bacon with or without the rind on Though humanitarian I'm not a vegetarian. I'm neither crank nor prude nor prig And though it may sound infra dig Any part of the darling pig Is perfectly fine with me.

Noel Coward 156 quotes

My philosophy is as simple as...

My philosophy is as simple as ever - smoking, drinking, moderate sexual intercourse on a diminishing scale, reading and writing (not arithmetic). I have a selfish absorption in the well-being and achievement of Noel Coward.

Noel Coward 156 quotes

I see her as one great stampede of lips directed at the nearest derriere.

Noel Coward 156 quotes

If by any chance a playwright...

If by any chance a playwright wishes to express a political opinion or a moral opinion or a philosophy, he must be a good enough craftsman to do it with so much spice of entertainment in it that the public get the message without being aware of it.

Noel Coward 156 quotes

I'll go and see anything so l...

I'll go and see anything so long as it amuses me, or moves me. If it doesn't do either I want to go home.

Noel Coward 156 quotes

It's no good pacing up and down. It won't make the plane arrive any faster. Just sit down and accept that we're delayed. You're just making a fool of yourself.

Noel Coward 156 quotes

Wit is like caviar - it should be served in small portions and not spread about like marmalade.

I have always been very fond of them (drama critics) . . . I think it is so frightfully clever of them to go night after night to the theatre and know so little about it.
