Time is a circus always packing up and moving away.
Ben Hecht
Time is a circus always packing up and moving away.
Ben Hecht
Love is the magician that pulls man out of his own hat.
Ben Hecht
Criticism can never instruct or benefit you. Its chief effect is that of a telegram with dubious news. Praise leaves no glow behind, for it is a writer's habit to remember nothing good of himself. I have usually forgotten those who have admired my work, and seldom anyone who disliked it. Obviously, this is because praise is never enough and censure always too much.
Ben Hecht
