    “Friendship is by its very nature freer of deceit than any other relationship we can know because it is the bond least affected by striving for power, physical pleasure, or material profit, most liberated from any oath of duty or of constancy.”
    —Francine Du Plesssix Gray (20th century)

    “Enthusiasms, like stimulants, are often affected by people with small mental ballast.”
    —Minna Antrim (1861–?)

    “Abused as we abuse it at present, dramatic art is in no sense cathartic; it is merely a form of emotional masturbation.... It is the rarest thing to find a player who has not had his character affected for the worse by the practice of his profession. Nobody can make a habit of self-exhibition, nobody can exploit his personality for the sake of exercising a kind of hypnotic power over others, and remain untouched by the process.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
