What I Mean By An Educated Taste

Any Definition Which Limits Us Is Deplorable.

Why We Are Here Is An Impenetrable Question.

I Was Twenty-nine Years Old And I Wasn't A Very Good Poet And I Wasn't A Very Good Novelist, [so] I Thought I Would Try Writing A Play, Which Seems To Have Worked Out A Little Better.

Good Writers Define Reality; Bad Ones Merely Restate It. A Good Writer Turns Fact Into Truth; A Bad Writer Will, More Often Than Not, Accomplish The Opposite.

If You Examine The History Of Any Playwright Of The Past Twenty - Five Or Thirty Years - I'm Not Talking About The Comedy Boys, I'm Talking About The More Serious Writers - It Seems Inevitable That Almost Every One Has Been Encouraged Until The Critics Feel That They Have Built Them Up Beyond The Point Where They Can Control Them; Then It's Time To Knock Them Down Again.
