Clare Boothe

Famous quotes containing the words clare boothe, clare and/or boothe:

    Lying increases the creative faculties, expands the ego, lessens the friction of social contacts.... It is only in lies, wholeheartedly and bravely told, that human nature attains through words and speech the forebearance, the nobility, the romance, the idealism, that—being what it is—it falls so short of in fact and in deed.
    Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)

    Hesperus thy twinkling ray
    Beams in the blue of heaven
    And tells the traveller on his way
    That earth shall be forgiven
    —John Clare (1793–1864)

    But if God had wanted us to think just with our wombs, why did He give us a brain?
    —Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)
