George Jean Nathan

“To speak of morals in art is to speak of legislature in sex. Art is the sex of the imagination.”

“It is only the cynicism that is born of success that is penetrating and valid.”

“Love is the emotion that a woman feels always for a poodle dog and sometimes for a man.”

“I have yet to find a man worth his salt in any direction who did not think of himself first and foremost.”

“A man's wife is his compromise with the illusion of his first sweetheart.”

“What passes for woman's intuition is often nothing more than man's transparency.”
