More quotes by Arnold Bennett
The war years count double. Things and people not actively in use age twice as fast.
Arnold Bennett
Nearly all bookish people are snobs, and especially the more enlightened among them. They are apt to assume that if a writer has immense circulation, if he is enjoyed by plain persons, and if he can fill several theatres at once, he cannont possibly be worth reading and merits only indifference and disdain.
Arnold Bennett
Saw Washington Monument. Phallic. Appalling. A national catastrophe.
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
The real Tragedy is the tragedy of the man who never in his life braces himself for his one supreme effort-he never stretches to his full capacity, never stands up to his full stature.
Arnold Bennett

Arnold Bennett
Good taste is better than bad taste, but bad taste is better than no taste.

Arnold Bennett
You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose.
Arnold Bennett
Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts.
Arnold Bennett
Far from the madding crowd is a mistake on a honeymoon.... Solitude! Wherever you are, if you're on a honeymoon, you'll get quite as much solitude as is good for you every twenty-four hours. Constant change and distraction -- that's what wants arranging for. Solitude will arrange itself.
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
The best cure for worry, depression, melancholy, brooding, is to go deliberately forth and try to lift with one's sympathy the gloom of somebody else.
Arnold Bennett
I don't read my reviews, I measure them.
Arnold Bennett
Much ingenuity with a little money is vastly more profitable and amusing than much money without ingenuity.
Arnold Bennett
Procrastination is suicide on the installment plan.
Arnold Bennett
Being a husband is a whole time job. That is why so many husbands fail. They cannot give their entire attention to it.
Arnold Bennett
The man who begins to go to bed forty minutes before he opens his bedroom door is bored that is to say, he is not living.
Arnold Bennett
In search of ideas I spent yesterday morning in walking about, and went to the stores and bought things in four departments. A wonderful and delightful way of spending time. I think this sort of activity does stimulate creative ideas.
