Eugene O'Neill

Man is a born troublemaker.

Life is a disease, and the only cure is death.

There is no present or future, only the past, happening over and over again—now.

The past is the present, isn't it? It's the future, too. We all try to lie out of that, but life won't let us.

We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep.

To hell with the truth! As if truth ever helped anyone!

The fog was where I wanted to be. Halfway out to sea.

It was a great mistake, my being born.

The one thing that makes life possible is permanent, unpredictable danger.

A man's work is his only reason for living.

There is no God but Love.

The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, unpredictable danger.

We are always in the dark about ourselves.

The sea is a hard mistress.

The world is a cage.

It's a great game, the game of life.

The future is only the past again, entered through another gate.

There's a time in every man's life when he's got to choose between being a man and being a fool.

The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.

We are all of us in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
