More quotes by Thornton Wilder
I hold that we cannot be said to be aware of our minds save under responsibility.
Wherever you come near the human race there's layers and layers of nonsense.
We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.

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.
