Laughter is, after speech, the chief thing that holds society together.
From Max Eastman
Classic art was the art of necessity: modern romantic art bears the stamp of caprice and chance.
Emotion is the surest arbiter of a poetic choice, and it is the priest of all supreme unions in the mind.
A poet in history is divine, but a poet in the next room is a joke.
Robert Benchley has a style that is weak and lies down frequently to rest.
I don't know why it is we are in such a hurry to get up when we fall down. You might think we would lie there and rest for a while.
