Arts and Artists
It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process.
Conscience
People talk about the conscience, but it seems to me one must just bring it up to a certain point and leave it there. You can let your conscience alone if you're nice to the second housemaid.
Facts
The fatal futility of Fact.
Ideas
Ideas are, in truth, force.
Life and Living
Live all you can; it's a mistake not to. It doesn't so much matter what you do in particular, so long as you have your life. If you haven't had that what have you had?
Mistakes
She had an unequalled gift... of squeezing big mistakes into small opportunities.
Patriotism
I think patriotism is like charity -- it begins at home.
Understanding
A man who pretends to understand women is ad manners. For him to really to understand them is bad morals.
