Comedies of manners swiftly become obsolete when there are no longer any manners.
Noel Coward
Criticism and Bolshevism have one thing in common. They both seek to pull down that which they could never build.
Noel Coward
I'll go and see anything so long as it amuses me, or moves me. If it doesn't do either I want to go home.
