Don't be condescending to unskilled labor. Try it for a half a day first.

Writing is not an end in itself but life transmuted into radiance.

It seems to me that the thing that makes the theater worthwhile is the fact that it attracts so many people with ideas who are constantly trying to share them with the public. Real art is illumination. It gives a man an idea he never had before or lights up ideas that were formless or only lurking in the shadows of his mind. It adds stature to life.

It seems not to have been written. It is the quintessence of life. It is the basic truth.

There is no joy so great as that of reporting that a good play has come to town.

Real art is illumination, it adds stature to life.
