More quotes by Cyril Connolly

Cyril Connolly
The true function of a writer is to produce a masterpiece and no other task is of any consequence.
Cyril Connolly
For what is liberty but the unhampered translation of will into act?
Cyril Connolly
Failure on the other hand is infectious. The world is full of charming failures (for all charming people have something to conceal, usually their total dependence on the appreciation of others) and unless the writer is quite ruthless with these amiable footlers, they will drag him down with them.
Cyril Connolly
We create the world in which we live if that world becomes unfit for human life, it is because we tire of our responsibility.
Cyril Connolly

Cyril Connolly
The artist one day falls through a hole in the brambles, and from that moment he is following the dark rapids of an underground river which may sometimes flow so near to the surface that the laughing picnic parties are heard above.
Cyril Connolly
No city should be too large for a man to walk out of in a morning.
Cyril Connolly

Cyril Connolly
No one over thirty-five is worth meeting who has not something to teach us, something more than we could learn for ourselves, from a book.
Cyril Connolly

Cyril Connolly
Hate is crystallized fear, fear's dividend, fear objectivized. We hate what we fear and so where hate is, fear will be lurking.
Cyril Connolly
The civilized are those who get more out of life than the uncivilized, and for this we are not likely to be forgiven.
Cyril Connolly
Greed, like the love of comfort, is a kind of fear.
Cyril Connolly
There is no pain equal to that which two lovers can inflict on one another.
Cyril Connolly
The worst vice of the solitary is the worship of his food.
Cyril Connolly
Slums may well be breeding grounds of crime, but middle class suburbs are incubators of apathy and delirium.
Cyril Connolly
When in doubt, choose greatness.
Cyril Connolly
