Christopher Morley
The courage of the poet is to keep ajar the door that leads into madness.
Christopher Morley
What is the virtue and service of a book? Only to help me live less gingerly and shabbily.
Christopher Morley

Christopher Morley
A mind too proud to unbend over the small ridiculosa of life is as painful as a library with no trash in it.
Christopher Morley
Happiness is surely the best teacher of good manners: only the unhappy are churlish in deportment.
Christopher Morley
There are certain people whom one feels almost inclined to urge to hurry up and die so that their letters can be published.
Christopher Morley
The everlasting lure of round-the-corner, how fascinating it is.
Christopher Morley
