Max Beerbohm
Improvisation is the essence of good talk. Heaven defend us from the talker who doles out things prepared for us but let heaven not less defend us from the beautiful spontaneous writer who puts his trust in the inspiration of the moment.
Max Beerbohm
Have you noticed ... there is never any third act in a nightmare? They bring you to a climax of terror and then leave you there. They are the work of poor dramatists.
Max Beerbohm
I prefer that laughter shall take me unawares. Only so can it master and dissolve me.
Max Beerbohm
Heroes are very human, most of them very easily touched by praise.
Max Beerbohm
All fantasy should have a solid base in reality.
