Leo Rosten Quotes

A writer writes not because he is educated but because he is driven by the need to communicate. Behind the need to communicate is the need to share. Behind the need to share is the need to be understood Picture Quote #1
Chutzpa is that quality enshrined in a man who, having killed his mother and father, throws himself on the mercy of the court because he is an orphan Picture Quote #1
Proverbs often contradict one another, as any reader soon discovers. The sagacity that advises us to look before we leap promptly warns us that if we hesitate we are lost; that absence makes the heart grow fonder, but out of sight, out of mind Picture Quote #1
Acting is a form of deception, and actors can mesmerize themselves almost as easily as an audience Picture Quote #1
In the dark colony of night, when I consider man’s magnificent capacity for malice, madness, folly, envy, rage, and destructiveness, and I wonder whether we shall not end up as breakfast for newts and polyps, I seem to hear the muffled cries of all the words in all the books with covers closed Picture Quote #1
It is not that which is beautiful that pleases us, but that which pleases is is called beautiful Picture Quote #1

If at first you don’t succeed, before you try again, stop to figure out what you did wrong Picture Quote #1
There was no answer, no solution, no sop, no deliverance. What, then, did I do? I read faster Picture Quote #1
You can learn much about life from a checker game: surrender one to take two; don’t make two moves at one time; move up, not down; and when you reach the top, you may move as you like Picture Quote #1
Words sing. They hurt. They teach. They sanctify. They were man’s first, immeasurable feat of magic. They liberated us from ignorance and our barbarous past Picture Quote #1
The purpose of life is not to be happy, the purpose of life is to matter Picture Quote #1
O, to be sure, we laugh less and play less and wear uncomfortable disguises like adults, but beneath the costume is the child we always are, whose needs are simple, whose daily life is still best described by fairy tales Picture Quote #1

I cannot believe that the purpose of life is to be happy. I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be compassionate. It is, above all to matter, to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all Picture Quote #1
