“Don't clap too hard - it's a very old building.”
“Heaven be thanked, we live in such an age when no man dies for love except upon the stage.”
“Here we are, we're alone in the universe, there's no God, it just seems that it all began by something as simple as sunlight striking on a piece of rock. And here we are. We've only got ourselves. Somehow, we've just got to make a go of it. We've only ourselves.”
“In London, love and scandal are considered the best sweeteners of tea.”
“It is not true that drink changes a man's character. It may reveal it more clearly.”
“There's no such thing as failure - just waiting for success.”
“Why do I do this every Sunday? Even the book reviews seem to be the same as last week's. Different books same reviews.”
Quotes by John Osborne (English Playwright) born 12th December 1929
