More quotes by Arnold Bennett
Because her instinct has told her, or because she has been reliably informed, the faded virgin knows that the supreme joys are not for her she knows by a process of the intellect but she can feel her deprivation no more than the young mother can feel the hardship of the virgin's lot.
Arnold Bennett
Good taste is better than bad taste, but bad taste is better than no taste.
Arnold Bennett
The pleasure of doing a thing in the same way at the same time every day, and savoring it, should be noted.
Arnold Bennett
A first-rate organizer is never in a hurry. He is never late. He always keeps up his sleeve a margin for the unexpected.
Arnold Bennett
I know people who read and read, and for all the good it does them, they might as well cut bread and butter. Unless you give at least 45 minutes of careful, fatiguing reflection upon what you are reading, your minutes are chiefly wasted.
Arnold Bennett

Arnold Bennett
I ought to reflect again and again, and yet again, that the beings that I have to steer are just as inevitable in the scheme of evolution as I am myself have just as much right to be themselves as I am entitled to and they all deserve from me as much sympathy as I give to myself.
Arnold Bennett
The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance. The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect, as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life. You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose.
Arnold Bennett
Saw Washington Monument. Phallic. Appalling. A national catastrophe.
Arnold Bennett
Literature exists so that where one man has lived finely ten thousand may afterward live finely
Arnold Bennett
The proper, wise balancing of one's whole life may depend upon the feasibility of a cup of tea at an unusual hour.
Arnold Bennett
The war years count double. Things and people not actively in use age twice as fast.
Arnold Bennett
Only a very gifted mind could cope singly with all the problems which present themselves in the perfecting of a home.
Arnold Bennett
Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts.
Arnold Bennett
