A man is more than one being in his life. If the last persists, why not the first? If there be a hereafter for his age, why not for his youth?

if there's a spirit world why don't the ghosts of dead artists get together and inhibit bad playwrights from tormenting first-nighters?

Oh, what is young love! The urge of the race. A blaze that ends in babies or ashes.

The only real rival of love is Art, for that in itself is a deep personal passion, its function an act of creation, fed by some mysterious perversion of sex, and demanding all the imagination's activities.

Success is a great healer.

... France is the genius among nations.

A man is more than one being in his life. If the last persists, why not the first? If there be a hereafter for his age, why not for his youth?
