I hold we cannot be said to be aware of our minds save under responsibility.

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

[Whenever] you get near the human race, there's layers and layers of nonsense.

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

Favors cease to be favors whe...

Favors cease to be favors when there are conditions attached to them.

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

The best thing about animals ...

The best thing about animals is they don't talk much.

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

[Camila] was quite incapable ...

[Camila] was quite incapable of establishing any harmony between the claims of her art, of her appetites, or her dreams, and of her crowded daily routine. Each of these was a world in itself.

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

I am not interested in the ep...

I am not interested in the ephemeral - such subjects as the adulteries of dentists. I am interested in those things that repeat and repeat and repeat in the lives of the millions.

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

There's nothing like mixing with women to bring out all the foolishness in a man of sense.

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

Many great writers have been ...

Many great writers have been extraordinarily awkward in daily exchange, but the greatest give the impression that their style was nursed by the closest attention to colloquial speech.

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

I didn't marry you because yo...

I didn't marry you because you were perfect. I didn't even marry you because I loved you. I married you because you gave me a promise. That promise made up for your faults. And the promise I gave you made up for mine. Two imperfect people got married and it was the promise that made the marriage. And when our children were growing up, it wasn't a house that protected them; and it wasn't our love that protected them--it was that promise.

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

Art is not only the desire to...

Art is not only the desire to tell one's secret; it is the desire to tell it and hide it at the same time.

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

Life is a fatal adventure. It...

Life is a fatal adventure. It can only have one end. So why not make it as far-ranging and free as possible.

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

There are the stars--doing th...

There are the stars--doing their old, old crisscross journeys in the sky. Scholars haven't settled the matter yet, but they seem to think there are no living beings out there. Just chalk... or fire. Only this one is straining away, straining away all the time to make something of itself. Strain's so bad that every sixteen hours everybody lies down and gets a rest.

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

Do any human beings ever real...

Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it?

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

There is no need for me to cu...

There is no need for me to curse you -the murderer survives the victim only to learn that it was himself that he longed to be rid of. Hatred is self-hatred.

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

But there comes a time in eve...

But there comes a time in everybody's life when he must decide whether he'll live among human beings or nota fool among fools or a fool alone.

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

There is one regard in which ...

There is one regard in which bullies show real perception when compared with their victims; it is their silent good-natured pleasure of the moment.

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

There is no creation without ...

There is no creation without faith and hope. There is no faith and hope that does not express itself in creation.

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

People a thousand years from ...

People a thousand years from now - this is the way we were in the provinces north of New York at the beginning of the 20th century. This is the way we were: in our growing up and in our marrying and in our living and in our living and in our dying.

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

On the stage it is always now...

On the stage it is always now; the personages are standing on that razor-edge, between the past and the future, which is the essential character of conscious being.

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

All that we know about those ...

All that we know about those we have loved and lost is that they would wish us to remember them with a more intensified realization of their reality. What is essential does not die but clarifies. The highest tribute to the dead is not grief but gratitude.
