Wilder

Famous quotes containing the word wilder:

    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.
    —Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)

    I hate that word. It’s return—a return to the millions of people who’ve never forgiven me for deserting the screen.
    —Billy Wilder (b. 1906)

    Never support two weaknesses at the same time. It’s your combination sinners—your lecherous liars and your miserly drunkards—who dishonor the vices and bring them into bad repute.
    —Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)
