George Moore

A great artist is always before his time or behind it.

A person travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.

Remorse: beholding heaven and feeling hell.
George Moore - The Bending of the Bough, [1900], act IV
The difficulty in life is the choice.

A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.

If there were no husbands, who would look after our mistresses?

Nothing is more depressing than the conviction that one is not a hero.

- George Moore
