Quote by Thornton Wilder (1897-1975)

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

• 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.

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

• Life is an unbroken succession of false situations.
