Cyril Connolly Quotes
Today the function of the artist is to bring imagination to science and science to imagination, where they meet, in the myth. Vulgarity is the garlic in the salad of life. We love but once, for once only are we perfectly equipped for loving. We must select the illusion which appeals to our temperament, and embrace it with passion, if we want to be happy. When we have ceased to love the stench of the human animal, either in others or in ourselves, then are we condemned to misery, and clear thinking can begin. When young we are faithful to individuals, when older we grow loyal to situations and to types. Whom the gods wish to destroy they first call promising. Words today are like the shells and rope of seaweed which a child brings home glistening from the beach and which in an hour have lost their luster. Youth is a period of missed opportunities.
