More quotes by Marya Mannes
For every five well-adjusted and smoothly functioning Americans, there are two who never had the chance to discover themselves. It may well be because they have never been alone with themselves.
Marya Mannes
All people talk of money sometimes, everywhere. But not for all people, everywhere, is money the addiction, the obsession, the stimulant, that it seems to be in New York. It is a large part of the clamor, and it is the voice - quite literally - of the man in the street.
Marya Mannes
It is privilege of living to be acutely, agonizingly conscious of the moment that is always present and always passing.
Marya Mannes
Ribbons a-flutter and orchids a-tremble, Yearly the vigilant Daughters assemble, Affirming in fervid and firm resolutions Their permanent veto on all revolutions.
Marya Mannes
Euthanasia ... is simply to be able to die with dignity at a moment when life is devoid of it.
Marya Mannes
flirtation ... is a graceful salute to sex, a small impermanent spark between one human being and another, between a man and a woman not in need of fire.
Marya Mannes
To be at peace with self, to find company and nourishment in self-this would be the test of the free and productive psyche.
Marya Mannes
I would call an intellectual one whose instrument of work - his mind - is also his major source of pleasure a man whose entertainment is his intelligence.

In the race for money some men may come first, but man comes last.
Marya Mannes
An American who can make money, invoke God, and be no better than his neighbor, has nothing to fear but truth itself.
Marya Mannes
One is as one is, and the love that can't encompass both is a poor sort of love.
Marya Mannes
The world of sight is still limitless. It is the artist who limits vision to the cramped dimensions of his own ego.
Marya Mannes
You cannot throw words like heroism and sacrifice and nobility and honor away without abandoning the qualities they express.
Marya Mannes
The ultimate cynicism is to suspend judgment so that you are not judged.
Marya Mannes
In an age where the lowered eyelid is just a sign of fatigue, the delicate game of love is pining away. Freud and flirtation are poor companions.
Marya Mannes
If American men are obsessed with money, American women are obsessed with weight. The men talk of gain, the women talk of loss, and I do not know which talk is the more boring.
Marya Mannes
I don't think it's possible to write a good play or paint a good picture and be a good Republican.
Marya Mannes
on Broadway money rules. Like a host of vultures, the ticket brokers, the speculators, the craft unions, the agents, the backers, the real estate owners move in on the creative body and take their bite. The world of dreams breathes in an iron lung and without this mechanical pumping it dies.
Marya Mannes
The suppression of civil liberties is too many less a matter for horror than the curtailment of the freedom to profit.
Marya Mannes
All wars derive from lack of empathy: the incapacity of one to understand and accept the likeness or difference of another. Whether in nations or the encounters of race and sex, competition then replaces compassion, subjection excludes mutuality.
