«Love is an energy which exists of itself. It is its own value.»
Author: Thornton Wilder
| About:
Love
«Pride, avarice, and envy are in every home»

«But there comes a moment in everybody's life when he must decide whether he'll live among the human beings or not -- a fool among fools or a fool alone.»
Author: Thornton Wilder
«Yes. Now you know. Now you know. That's what it was to be alive, to move about in a cloud of ignorance, to go up and down trampling on the feelings of those-- of those about you, to spend and waste time as if you had a million years, to be always at the mercy of one self-centered passion or another. Now you know, that's the 'happy' existence you wanted to go back to. Ignorance and blindness.»
Author: Thornton Wilder
| About:
Life
«The tiny tealeaf of consciousness spreads its bittersweet smoke through the sea of the primitive mind. Law is invented, then morality, then love, then forgiveness. Thousands and thousands of ideas, knit together over time, each one less practical and more ornamental than the last, all stretched taut above the wandering, wondering heads like a little pavilion; a temporary shelter for the human project.»
Author: Thornton Wilder
«Ninety-nine per cent of the people in the world are fools and the rest of us are in great danger of contagion.»
Author: Thornton Wilder
«Every good thing in the world stands on the razor-edge of danger.»
Author: Thornton Wilder
«A sense of humor judges one's actions and the actions of others from a wider reference . . . and finds them incongruous. It dampens enthusiasm; it mocks hope; it pardons shortcomings; it consoles failure. It recommends moderation.»
Author: Thornton Wilder
«A play visibly represents pure existing.»
