Famous quotes by John Osborne:

"They're basically gutting it out to the stone and starting over."

"And even in the hatred of the majority, there's a kind of triumph because I know that, although they'd never admit it, they secretly respect me."

"There's no such thing as failure - just waiting for success."

"Laughter's the nearest we ever get, or should get, to sainthood. It's the state of grace that saves most of us from contempt."

"Here we are, we're alone in the universe, there's no God, it just seems that it all began by something as simple as sunlight striking on a piece of rock. And here we are. We've only got ourselves. Somehow, we've just got to make a go of it. We've only ourselves."

"The whole point of a sacrifice is that you give up something you never really wanted in the first place. People are doing it around you all the time. They give up their careers, say -- or their beliefs -- or sex."

"Don't clap too hard - it's a very old building."

"Never believe in mirrors or newspapers"

"It is easy to answer the ultimate questions -- it saves you bothering with the immediate ones."

"Asking a working writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamppost what it feels about dogs"

"I never deliberately set out to shock, but when people don't walk out of my plays I think there is something wrong."

"It is widely held that too much wine will dull a man's desire. Indeed it will in a dull man."

"They spend their time looking forward to the past."

"Heroes, whatever high ideas we may have of them, are mortal and not divine. We are all as God made us and many of us much worse."

"In London, love and scandal are considered the best sweeteners of tea."

"Why do I do this every Sunday? Even the book reviews seem to be the same as last week's. Different books same reviews."

"It is not true that drink changes a man's character. It may reveal it more clearly."

"Go on - but don't think you can kill my confidence. I've had experts doing it for years."

"It is easy to answer the ultimate questions - it saves you bothering with the immediate ones."
