Eugene O'Neill

Guilt is the price we pay willingly for doing what we are going to do anyway.

Life is a dream, and we are the dreamers.

Criticism is the art of knowing how to dislike.

The soul of a man is his dreams.

Time is the great healer, but it also kills.

I am a strange mixture of dictator and slave.

Theatre is the refuge of the egoist.

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul.

Man is a coward before death.

Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder which of us is curing the other.

The living is a dream, the dead are real.

Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.

We are all haunted by our yesterdays.

Drama is truth with a scream.

The artist never dies; he lives on in his work.

Forgiveness is the virtue of the brave.

Life's a long stretch of road, and we're all just passing through.

Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty.

In the end, we all become our fathers.

Truth is the light that burns away illusion.
