Famous quotes containing the word wilder:

    Literature is the orchestration of platitudes.
    —Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)

    You know, that stuff about pink elephants, that’s the bunk. It’s little animals. Little tiny turkeys in straw hats. Midget monkeys coming through the keyholes.
    —Billy Wilder (b. 1906)

    I’ve never forgotten for long at a time that living is struggle. I know that every good and excellent thing in the world stands moment by moment on the razor-edge of danger and must be fought for—whether it’s a field, or a home, or a country.
