“I once heard a woman laugh at that most tragic moment in all drama, the off-stage shot in The Wild Duck, and I afterward had her killed, so there will be no more of that out of her.”
—Robert Benchley (18891945)
“I grow savager and savager every day, as if fed on raw meat, and my tameness is only the repose of untamableness. I dream of looking abroad summer and winter, with free gaze, from some mountain-side,... to be nature looking into nature with such easy sympathy as the blue-eyed grass in the meadow looks in the face of the sky. From some such recess I would put forth sublime thoughts daily, as the plant puts forth leaves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
