“Marriage is like a war. There are moments of chivalry and gallantry that attend the victorious advances and strategic retreats, the birth or death of children, the momentary conquest of loneliness, the sacrifice that ennobles him who makes it. But mostly there are the long dull sieges, the waiting, the terror and boredom. Women understand this better than men; they are better able to survive attrition.”

“The old-fashioned idea that the simple piling up of experiences, one on top of another, can make you an artist, is, of course, somuch rubbish. If acting were just a matter of experience, then any busy harlot could make Garbo’s Camille pale.”
