Anything that endures over time sacrifices its ability to make an impression.
I've never blown an ugly bubble. Never. They're all beautiful. They're like jewels, transient jewels.
I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The Flower that once has blown forever dies.
I like the ephemeral thing about theatre, every performance is like a ghost - it's there and then it's gone.
A man must live like a great brilliant flame and burn as brightly as he can. In the end he burns out. But this is far better than a mean little flame.
Something that is very special today might not be special tomorrow, but to hold it, to grasp it, to keep it, to make it special, to elevate it from the ordinary, that's when you open up the champagne. To make it sparkle.
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
There's never one sunrise the same or one sunset the same.
The morning glory which blooms for an hour differs not at heart from a giant pine that lives for a thousand years.
Swift speedy time, feathered with flying hours, Dissolves the beauty of the fairest brow.
All states and nations, however great, bloom for a season and are replaced.
