THORNTON WILDER, The Matchmaker

THORNTON WILDER, The Matchmaker

As her technique became sounder, sincerity became less necessary.

THORNTON WILDER, The Bridge of San Luis Rey

When you're safe at home you wish you were having an adventure; when your having an adventure you wish you were safe at home.

THORNTON WILDER, attributed, The Concise Columbia Dictionary of Quotations
