Life cannot defeat a writer who is in love with writing - for life itself is a writer's love until death.
Edna FerberWhoever said love conquers all was a fool. Because almost everything conquers love - or tries to.
Edna FerberMany earnest young writers with a flow of adjectives and a passion for detail have attempted to describe the quiet of a great city at night, when a few million people within it are sleeping, or ought to be. They work in the clang of a distant owl car, and the roar of an occasional "L" train, and the hollow echo of the footsteps of the late passer-by. They go elaborately into description, and are strong on the brooding hush, but the thing has never been done satisfactorily.
Edna FerberDeath-bed promises should be broken as lightly as they are seriously made.
-The Gay Old Dog

Edna FerberAny piece of furniture, I don't care how beautiful it is, has got to be lived with, and kicked about, and rubbed down, and mistreated..., and repolished, and knocked around and dusted and sat on or slept in or eaten off of before it develops its real character," Selina said.
Edna FerberA closed mind is a dying mind.
Edna FerberIt's fun telling you tall Texas tales. You always look like a little girl who's hearing Cinderella for the first time.
