Famous quotes by arnold bennett:

    Essential characteristic of the really great novelist: a Christ-like, all-embracing compassion.
    Arnold Bennett (1867–1931)

    To the artist is sometimes granted a sudden, transient insight which serves in this matter for experience. A flash, and where previously the brain held a dead fact, the soul grasps a living truth! At moments we are all artists.
    Arnold Bennett (1867–1931)

    Being a husband is a whole-time job. That is why so many husbands fail. They cannot give their entire attention to it.
