Quotations of the Day
"There is no division nor subtraction in the heart-arithmetic of a good mother. There are only addition and multiplication."
A Lantern in Her Hand (1928)
"The joy of joys is the person of light but unmalicious humor."
Etiquette: In Society, in Business, in Politics, and at Home (1922)"‘Are you seeing a psychiatrist?’ as a conversation opener would nowadays earn you a punch in the nose, but for fifty years it was a compliment. It meant, ‘One can plainly see you are sensitive, intense, and interesting, and therefore neurotic.’ Only the dullest of clods trudged around without a neurosis."
Wasn't the Grass Greener? (1999)"There is nothing so impenetrably stupid as the illusion of the strong who believe in their strength."
Escapade (1923)"In Hollywood, the … basic freedom of being able to choose between alternatives is absent. The gifted people who have the capacity for choice cannot exercise it; the executives who technically have the freedom of choice do not actually have it, because they usually lack the knowledge and imagination necessary for making such a choice."
Hollywood, The Dream Factory (1950)"I venture that those of us who are most serene when faced with the possibility of nothingness are the ones who’ve reached furthest to the downward and upward of their beings."
Lovers and Tyrants (1976)
