A novelist may lose his readers for a few pages; a playwright never dares lose his audience for a minute.

When you're between any kind of devil and the deep blue sea, the deep blue sea sometimes looks very inviting.

Do you know what le vice Anglais – the English vice – really is? Not flagellation, not pederasty – whatever the French believe it to be. It's our refusal to admit to our emotions. We think they demean us, I suppose.
