Subject: Courage

Spoon feeding in the long run teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon.

Creative writers are always greater than the causes that they represent.

It is the one orderly product our middling race has produced. It is the cry of a thousand sentinels, the echo from a thousand labyrinths; it is the lighthouse which cannot be hidden the best evidence we can give of our dignity.

We are willing enough to praise freedom when she is safely tucked away in the past and cannot be a nuisance. In the present, amidst dangers whose outcome we cannot foresee, we get nervous about her, and admit censorship.

I am so used to seeing the sort of play which deals with one man and two women. They do not leave me with the feeling I have made a full theatrical meal they do not give me the experience of the multiplicity of life.

Beauty ought to look a little surprised: it is the emotion that best suits her face. The beauty who does not look surprised, who accepts her position as her due - she reminds us too much of a prima donna.

Life is easy to chronicle, but bewildering to practice.

It is my fate and perhaps my temperament to sign agreements with fools.

At night, when the curtains are drawn and the fire flickers, my books attain a collective dignity.

Nonsense and beauty have close connections.

I have been racking my brains and can find no reply to this very reasonable question. I can only suggest that the fictional part of me dried up.

I suggest that the only books that influence us are those for which we are ready, and which have gone a little further down our particular path than we have gone ourselves.
