More by Thornton Wilder

“A dramatist is one who believes that the pure event, an action involving human beings, is more arresting than any comment that can be made upon it.”

“The theatre is supremely fitted to say: "Behold! These things are." Yet most dramatists employ it to say: "This moral truth can be learned from beholding this action.”

“Thornton Wilder at the Internet Movie Database”

“Money is like manure; it's not worth a thing unless it's spread around encouraging young things to grow.”

“Man is not an end but a beginning. We are at the beginning of the second week. We are children of the eighth day.”

“Hope, like faith, is nothing if it is not courageous; it is nothing if it is not ridiculous.”
