“If church prelates, past or present, had even an inkling of physiology they’d realise that what they term this inner ugliness creates and nourishes the hearing ear, the seeing eye, the active mind, and energetic body of man and woman, in the same way that dirt and dung at the roots give the plant its delicate leaves and the full-blown rose.”
—Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
“Our duty now is to keep alive—to exist. What becomes of a nation if its citizens all die?”
—Dudley Nichols, U.S. screenwriter. Jean Renoir. George Lambert (George Sanders)
