Famous quotes by Thornton Wilder:

"Providence has nothing good or high in store for one who does not resolutely aim at something high or good. A purpose is the eternal condition of success."

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

"There is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love, the only survival, the only meaning."

"Many who have spent a lifetime in it can tell us less of love than the child that lost a dog yesterday."

"I am convinced that, except in a few extraordinary cases, one form or another of an unhappy childhood is essential to the formation of exceptional gifts."

"When you're safe at home you wish you were having an adventure; when you're having an adventure you wish you were safe at home"

"We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures."

"The more decisions that you are forced to make alone, the more you are aware of your freedom to choose"

"The best thing about animals is that they don't talk much."

"When God loves a creature he wants the creature to know the highest happiness and the deepest misery He wants him to know all that being alive can bring. That is his best gift. There is no happiness save in understanding the whole."

"The more decisions that you are forced to make alone, the more you are aware of your freedom to choose."

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

"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."

"We do not choose the day of our birth nor may we choose the day of our death, yet choice is the sovereign faculty of the mind."

"In advertising, not to be different is virtual suicide."

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

"Literature is the orchestration of platitudes."

"The future author is one who discovers that language, the exploration and manipulation of the resources of language, will serve him in winning through to his way."

"Nature reserves the right to inflict upon her children the most terrifying jests."

"I know that every good and excellent thing in the world stands moment by moment on the razor-edge of danger and must be fought for."
