Famous Eugene O’Neill Quotes
There is no present or future-only the past, happening over and over again-now.God gave us mouths that close and ears that don’t… that should tell us something.Man is born broken. He lives by mending. The Grace of God is glue.We need above all to learn again to believe in the possibility of nobility of spirit in ourselves.We fought so long against small things that we became small ourselves.Life is for each man a solitary cell whose walls are mirrors.Writing is my vacation from living.Life is perhaps best regarded as a bad dream between two awakenings.We are where centuries only count as seconds, and after a thousand lives, our eyes begin to open.When you’re 50 you start thinking about things you haven’t thought about before. I used to think getting old was about vanity – but actually it’s about losing people you love. Getting wrinkles is trivial.Dogs…do not ruin their sleep worrying about how to keep the objects they have, and to obtain the objects they have not. There is nothing of value they have to bequeath except their love and their faith.The only living life is in the past and future – the present is an interlude – strange interlude in which we call on past and future to bear witness that we are living.It’s a great game – the pursuit of happiness.You said they had found the secret of happiness because they had never heard that love can be a sin.I am so far from being a pessimist…on the contrary, in spite of my scars, I am tickled to death at life.The past is the present, isn’t it? It’s the future too.Obsessed by a fairy tale, we spend our lives searching for a magic door and a lost kingdom of peace.Tags:Eugene O'Neill Quotes, Eugene O’Neill
