We Know Our Friends By Their Defects

People Talk Of Beauty Lightly, And Having No Feeling For Words, They Use That One Carelessly, So That It Loses Its Force; And The Thing It Stands For, Sharing Its Name With A Hundred Trivial Objects, Is Deprived Of Dignity. They Call Beautiful A Dress, A Dog, A Sermon; And When They Are Face To Face With Beauty Cannot Recognise It.

There Are Directors Who Desire To Be Artistic. It Is Pathetic To Compare The Seriousness Of Their Aim With The Absurdity Of Their Attainment.

Have Common Sense And Stick To The Point.

We Know Our Friends By Their Defects Rather Than By Their Merits.

A Good Style Should Show No Signs Of Effort. What Is Written Should Seem A Happy Accident.
