What I Say To An Artist Is,

I Had From Childhood Not Only The Experience Of Love And Truth Common To All Family Life, But The Idea Of Them Embodied In The Person Of Jesus, A Picture Always Present To Our Imagination As Well As Our Feelings.

Religion Is Organized To Satisfy And Guide The Soul -- Politics Does The Same Thing For The Body.

Life Would Die Without Poets, And Democracy Must Have Its Spellbinders.

I Write The Big Scenes First, That Is, The Scenes That Carry The Meaning Of The Book, The Emotional Experience.

Of All Things I Find Most Unbearable Is The Injustice Of One Generation To Another.
