More quotes by Cyril Connolly
Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self.
Life is a maze in which we take the wrong turning before we have learnt to walk.
There is no more sombre enemy of good art than the pram in the hall.
You may also like
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
