I know the greatness of Christianity; it is a past greatness.. I live in 1924, and the Christian venture is done.

Love is the hastening gravitation of spirit towards spirit, and body towards body, in the joy of creation.

Your most vital necessity in this life is that you shall love your wife completely and implicitly and in an entire nakedness of body and spirit.... this that I tell you is my message as far as I've got any.

I hate the actor and audience business. An author should be in among the crowd, kicking their shins or cheering them on to some mischief or merriment.

Oh, for the wonder that bubbles into my soul.

The old ideals are dead as nails--nothing there. It seems to me there remains only this perfect union with a woman--sort of ultimate marriage--and there isn't anything else.

I shall always be a priest of love.
