“Death is the only thing that ever terrifies me. I hate it.”

“I love scrapes. They are the only things that are never serious.""Oh, that's nonsense, Algy. You never talk anything but nonsense.""Nobody ever does.”

“I like talking to a brick wall- it's the only thing in the world that never contradicts me!”

“Yes Harry I believe that is true. I cannot help telling you things. You have a curious influence over me. If I ever did a crime I would come and confess it to you. You would understand me.”

“I wish i could write them down, these little coloured parables or poems that live for a moment in some cell of my brain, and then leave it to go wandering elsewhere. I hate writing; the mere act of writing a thing down is troublesome to me. I want some fine medium, and look for it in vain.”

“My own business always bores me to death; I prefer other people's.”

“Why didn't you tell me that the only thing worth loving is an actress?”
