Thornton Wilder

Every good and excellent thing in the world stands moment to moment on the razor edge of danger and must be fought for.

Wherever you come near the human race there's layers and layers of nonsense.

Hope, like faith, is nothing if it is not courageous; it is nothing if it is not ridiculous.

Wherever you get near the human race, there's just layers and layers of nonsense.

Marriage is a bribe to make a housekeeper think she's a householder.

Life is an unbroken succession of false situations.

My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy your ice cream while it's on your plate.
