Thornton Wilder

Doctors are mostly impostors. The older a doctor is and the more venerated he is, the more he must pretend to know everything. Of course, they grow worse with time. Always look for a doctor who is hated by the best doctors. Always seek out a bright young doctor before he comes down with nonsense.
Thornton Wilder

Thornton Wilder
Image
Every good thing in the world stands on the razor-edge of danger.
Thornton Wilder
Image
The highest tribute to the dead is not grief but gratitude.
Thornton Wilder
Image
Either we live by accident and die by accident, or we live by plan and die by plan.
Thornton Wilder
Image
The more decisions that you are forced to make alone, the more you are aware of your freedom to choose.
Thornton Wilder
Image
People are meant to go through life two by two. ’Tain’t natural to be lonesome.
Thornton Wilder
Image
Love is an energy which exists of itself. It is its own value.
Thornton Wilder
Image
the whole purport of literature...is the notation of the heart. Style is but the faintly contemptible vessel in which the bitter liquid is recommended to the world.
Thornton Wilder
Image
