The worst thing to do with success, is to boast about it.

The only link between Literature and the Drama left to us in England at the present moment is the bill of the play.

Things are because we see them, and what we see, and how we see it, depends on the Arts that influenced us. To look at a thing is very different from seeing a thing. One does not see anything until one sees its beauty. Then, and then only, does it comes into existence.

Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.

If God really wanted to punish, he'd answer all our prayers.

Any place that we love becomes our world.

I want my food dead. Not sick, not dying, dead.
