Walter Bagehot
“We see but one aspect of our neighbor, as we see but one side of the moon; in either case there is also a dark half, which is unknown to us. We all come down to dinner, but each has a room to himself.”
Walter Bagehot

Thornton Wilder
“Oh, earth, you're too wonderful for anybody to realize you.”
Thornton Wilder, Our Town

“Life is a compromise of what your ego wants to do, what experience tells you to do, and what your nerves let you do.”

Thornton Wilder
“Now there are some things we all know, but we don't take'm out and look at'm very often. We all know that something is eternal. And it ain't houses and it ain't names, and it ain't earth, and it ain't even the stars… everybody knows in their bones that something is eternal, and that something has to do with human beings. All the greatest people ever lived have been telling us that for five thousand years and yet you'd be surprised how people are always losing hold of it. There's something way down deep that's eternal about every human being.”
Thornton Wilder, Our Town

Thornton Wilder
“There are the stars--doing their old, old crisscross journeys in the sky. Scholars haven't settled the matter yet, but they seem to think there are no living beings out there. Just chalk... or fire. Only this one is straining away, straining away all the time to make something of itself. Strain's so bad that every sixteen hours everybody lies down and gets a rest.”
Thornton Wilder, Our Town
