“The sure way to be cheated is to think one's self more cunning than others.”

“The one thing people are the most liberal with, is their advice.”

“Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires.”

“What makes me unusually intense is that I personalize the pain of war, the pain of children being killed, the pain of a 16-year-old who has been permanently cheated by his school and cannot read.”

“I feel like I've cheated. I never knew what to do. I was never a good enough painter to earn a living, and so I drifted into the theatre, and I've had a successful life. I feel guilty that I've never done a day's work in my life!”

“My first thought was always a cigarette. It still is, but I haven't cheated.”
