The women who inspired this play deserved to be smacked across the head with a meat ax and that, I flatter myself, is exactly what I smacked them with.
Clare Boothe Luce
Rome is the city above all cities which loses most of its meaning to those who do not bring to it some historical sense, a decent knowledge of art, and a good amount of time. Rome therefore is particularly disturbing to an American.

I have never met a man [in the military], in or out of uniform, who ever said, Let's use the missiles. They are even more terrified that the Bishops, because a great many of them don't expect to go to Heaven, which at least the Bishops do.

Clare Boothe Luce
Lying increases the creative faculties, expands the ego, lessens the friction of social contacts. . . . It is only in lies, wholeheartedly and bravely told, that human nature attains through words and speech the forebearance, the nobility, the romance, the idealism, that-being what it is-it falls so short of in fact and in deed.
Clare Boothe Luce
There is nothing like a good dose of another woman to make a man appreciate his wife.
Clare Boothe Luce
Communism is the opiate of the intellectuals.

No woman has ever so comforted the distressed or distressed the comfortable. on Eleanor Roosevelt.
Clare Boothe Luce
H. L. Mencken told me once that he answered all his mail, pleasant and unpleasant, with just one line, 'You may be right.' That's the way I feel now. It is in the realm of possibility, just barely, that I could be the one who's wrong.
Clare Boothe Luce
Bombs know no ism but barbarism. The laws that successfully govern a peaceful and democratic society do not interfere with the only law bombs know, which is the law of gravity.
Clare Boothe Luce
Women can't have an honest exchange in front of men without having it called a cat fight.
Clare Boothe Luce
I am for lifting everyone off the social bottom. In fact, I am for doing away with the social bottom altogether.
