children teaching punishment
The fear of hell, the punishment of sin, how the modern parent revolts from such teaching. Yet I will assert that far from doing us children harm, it was a sure foundation to the world of our confidence, a master girder in our palace of delight.
heart self play
Throughout the play everything possible was done to show the virtue, innocence and helplessness of the poor, and the abandoned cruelty, the heartless self-indulgence of the rich.
bored doubt treasure
No doubt any connoisseur, any collector, some bored old millionaire when he shows off his treasures, is seeking in your praise the resurrection and the life.
reality house littles
Reality is a narrow little house which becomes a prison to those who can't get out of it.
mean artist law
Remember I'm an artist. And you know what that means in a court of law. Next worst to an actress
funny-valentines-day love-you eden
Love doesn't grow on trees like apples in Eden - it's something you have to make. And you must use your imagination too....
karma strong thinking
Plantie is a very strong Protestant, that is to say, he's against all churches, especially the Protestant: and he thinks a lot of Buddha, Karma and Confucius. He is also a bit of an anarchist and three or four years ago he took up Einstein and vitamins.
money hands years
No honest hardworking official likes to see good money disappearing into the hands of the Treasury at the end of the financial year.
memories age shapes
An old mans memories, like his bones, grow sharp with age and show their true shapes.
real knowing-who-you-are labels
The concept, the label, is perpetually hiding from us all the nature of the real.
knowledge men tragedy
It is the tragedy of the world that no one knows what he doesn't know - and the less a man knows, the more sure he is that he knows everything.
book writing emotional
I write the big scenes first, that is, the scenes that carry the meaning of the book, the emotional experience.
teacher teaching enthusiasm
The most effective teacher will always be biased, for the chief force in teaching is confidence and enthusiasm.
government hell fright
The only good government... Is a bad one in a hell of a fright.
