Wilder

Famous quotes containing the word wilder:

    There is a city myth that country life was isolated and lonely; the truth is that farmers and their families then had a richer social life than they have now. They enjoyed a society organic, satisfying and whole, not mixed and thinned with the life of town, city and nation as it now is.
    —Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1965)

    Marriage is a bribe to make a housekeeper think she’s a householder.
    —Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)

    Helen: You’ve got talent and ambition.
    Don: Talent? Ambition? That’s dead long ago. That’s drowned. That’s drifting around with a bloated belly on a lake of alcohol.
    —Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
