By the time an actor knows how to act any sort of part he is often too old to act any but a few.

He did not care if she was heartless, vicious and vulgar, stupid and grasping, he loved her. He would rather have misery with one than happiness with the other.

It is a nuisance that knowledge can only be acquired by hard work.

There is nothing so terrible as the pursuit of art by those who have no talent.

Life is so largely controlled by chance that its conduct can be but a perpetual improvisation.

In the conduct of life we make use of deliberation to justify ourselves in doing what we want to do.

Life wouldn’t be worth living if I worried over the future as well as the present. When things are at their worst I find something always happens.
