“I knew that over and above the truth, there exists another duty which is much more important and much more human.”

“I welcome each new day with a hopeful expectancy that I, too, will rise above the ordinary. For I am not content to live a merely "normal" life or settle for an average existence. No, I am destined for more--much, much more.”

“But in my growth and development, I knew I wanted more. And more. Oh, God. So much more. It's what being human is all about.”

“I believe all this, and much, much more, because I guess it is my duty to. But I pay a price for my gaga credulity, which I want to describe as a sort of intellectual seasickness.”

“My dear young lady, there was a great deal of truth; I dare say, in what you said, and you looked very pretty while you said it, which is much more important.”

“In the arts the way in which an idea is rendered, and the manner in which it is expressed, is much more important than the idea itself.”
