Arnold Bennett
I will never cease advising my friends and enemies to read poetry before anything.
Arnold Bennett
Much ingenuity with a little money is vastly more profitable and amusing than much money without ingenuity.
Arnold Bennett
Saw Washington Monument. Phallic. Appalling. A national catastrophe.

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
The manner in which one single ray of light, one single precious hint, will clarify and energize the whole mental life of him who receives it, is among the most wonderful and heavenly of intellectual phenomena.
Arnold Bennett

Arnold Bennett
It is difficult to make a reputation, but is even more difficult seriously to mar a reputation once properly made --- so faithful is the public.
Arnold Bennett

Arnold Bennett

Arnold Bennett
Which of us is not saying to himself which of us has not been saying to himself all his life: I shall alter that when I have a little more time? We never shall have any more time. We have, and we have always had, all the time there is.
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
Pessimism, when you get used to it, is just as agreeable as optimism.
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 most important preliminary to the task of arranging one's life so that one may live fully and comfortably within one's daily budget of 24 hours is the calm realization of the extreme difficulty of the task, of the sacrifices and the endless effort which it demands.
Arnold Bennett
Literature exists so that where one man has lived finely ten thousand may afterward live finely
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
