If I live for another ten years I shall probably have written all that I want to write.

I believe absolutely in love being the central motive force of the universe.

I still think that if the human race, or even one nation, could only get right about its God the rest would follow.

If nature had arranged that husbands and wives should have children alternatively, there would never be more than three in a family.

I shall not die young, for I am already near seventy: I may die old.

It is right and natural that generous minds while in the twenties should think the books which try to reform the world's wrong the greatest of all.

But it has also enabled me to find my feet as a lecturer and a reader of my own plays to audiences who like to hear them; and that experience of immediate appreciation gives greater pleasure and more stimulus towards further activity than even the most laudatory of reviews.
