Ben Hecht Quotes

Television excites me because it seems to be the last stamping ground of poetry, the last place where I hear women’s hair rhapsodically described, women’s faces acclaimed in odelike language Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

When you overpay small people you frighten them. They know that their merits or activities entitle them to no such sums as they are receiving. As a result their boss soars out of economic into magic significance. He becomes a source of blessings rather than wages. Criticism is sacrilege, doubt is heresy Picture Quote #1

Despite all our toil and progress, the art of medicine still falls somewhere between trout casting and spook writing Picture Quote #1

The rule in the art world is: you cater to the masses or you kowtow to the elite; you can’t have both Picture Quote #1

I know that a man who shows me his wealth is like the beggar who shows me his poverty; they are both looking for alms from me, the rich man for the alms of my envy, the poor man for the alms of my guilt Picture Quote #1

A man nearly always loves for other reasons than he thinks. A lover is apt to be as full of secrets from himself as is the object of his love from him Picture Quote #1

Trying to determine what is going on in the world by reading newspapers is like trying to tell the time by watching the second hand of a clock Picture Quote #1
