The planting of trees is the ...

The planting of trees is the least self-centered of all that we can do. It is a purer act of faith than the procreation of children.

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

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

How do you know what the worl...

How do you know what the world is like? Do you know the world is a foul sty? Do you know if you rip the fronts off houses you'd find swine? The world's a hell. What does it matter what happens in it?

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

Now he discovered that secret...

Now he discovered that secret from which one never quite recovers, that even in the most perfect love one person loves less profoundly than the other. There may be two equally good, equally gifted, equally beautiful, but theremay never be two that love one another equally well.

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

true influence over another co...

true influence over another comes not from a moments eloquence nor from any happily chosen word, but from the accumulation of a lifetime's thoughts stored up in the eyes...the secret smile in the eyes of a friend

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

Without your wounds where woul...

Without your wounds where would your power be? It is your melancholy that makes your low voice tremble into the hearts of men and women. The very angels themselves cannot persuade the wretched and blundering children on earth as can one human being broken on the wheels of living. In Love's service, only wounded soldiers can serve. Physician, draw back.

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

Every person who has ever live...

Every person who has ever lived has lived an unbroken succession of unique occasions.

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

The knowledge that she would n...

The knowledge that she would never be loved in return acted upon her ideas as a tide acts upon cliffs.

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

Either we live by accident and...

Either we live by accident and die by accident, or we live by plan and die by plan.

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

All excellence is equally diff...

All excellence is equally difficult.

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

You swore you loved me, and la...

You swore you loved me, and laughed and warned me that you would not love me forever. I did not hear you. You were speaking in a language I did not understand. Never, never, I can conceive of a love which is able to foresee its own termination. Love is its own eternity. Love is in every moment of its being: all time. It is the only glimpse we are permitted of what eternity is. So I did not hear you. The words were nonsense.

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

There is no need for me to cur...

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

The best part of married life ...

The best part of married life is the fights. The rest is merely so-so.

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

Those who are silent, self-eff...

Those who are silent, self-effacing and attentive become the recipients of confidences.

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

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

Life is an unbroken succession of false situations.

Thornton Wilder 191 quotes

The condition of leadership ad...

The condition of leadership adds new degrees of solitariness to the basic solitude of mankind. Every order that we issue increases the extent to which we are alone, and every show of deference which is extended to us separates us from our fellows.
