Art, like morality, consists of drawing the line somewhere.

Man must be certain of his morality for the simple reason that he has to suffer for it.

Modern art has to be what is called ‘intense.’ it is not easy to define being intense; but, roughly speaking, it means saying only one thing at a time, and saying it wrong.

Men do not differ much about what things they will call evils; they differ enormously about what evils they will call excusable.

Culture, like science, is no protection against demons.

The word "good" has many meanings. For example, if a man were to shoot his grandmother at a range of five hundred yards, I should call him a good shot, but not necessarily a good man.
