“She, too, would now swim down the river of matrimony with a beautiful name, and a handle to it, as the owner of a fine family property. Womens rights was an excellent doctrine to preach, but for practice could not stand the strain of such temptation.”

“Americans think of themselves collectively as a huge rescue squad on twenty-four-hour call to any spot on the globe where dispute and conflict may erupt.”

“Abused as we abuse it at present, dramatic art is in no sense cathartic; it is merely a form of emotional masturbation.... It is the rarest thing to find a player who has not had his character affected for the worse by the practice of his profession.

—Aldous Huxley (18941963)
