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.

Every man with an idea has at least two or three followers.

There should be a dash of the amateur in criticism. For the amateur is a man of enthusiasm who has not settled down and is not habit bound.

Land was created to provide a place for boats to visit.

The perfect bureaucrat everywhere is the man who manages to make no decisions and escape all responsibility.

Poetry is as vital to thinking as knowledge.
