Eugene O'Neill

One should either be sad or joyful. Contentment is a warm sty for eaters and sleepers.

Obsessed by a fairy tale, we spend our lives searching for a magic door and a lost kingdom of peace.

Man is born broken. He lives by mending. The grace of God is glue.

But the battles against loneliness that I fought when I was 16 are very different from those I fought when I was 27, and those are very different from the ones I fight at 44.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.

Fear follows crime and is its punishment.
