Jerome Lawrence quotes about
laughter humor thinking
When you lose the power to laugh, you lose your power to think straight.
distance character men
Progress has never been a bargain. You have to pay for it. Sometimes I think there's a man who sits behind a counter and says, "All right, you can have a telephone but you lose privacy and the charm of distance. Madam, you may vote but at a price. You lose the right to retreat behind the powder puff or your petticoat. Mister, you may conquer the air but the birds will lose their wonder and the clouds will smell of gasoline. Henry Drummond, a character in Inherit the Wind
emptiness inherit-the-wind overzealous

inherit-the-wind standing-still stills
