"June, you have killed my sincerity too. I will never again know who I am, what I am, what I love, what I want. Your beauty has drowned me, the core of me. You carry away with you a part of me reflected in you. When your beauty struck me, it dissolved me. Deep down, I am not different from you. I dreamed you, I wished for your existence. You are the woman I want to be. I see in you that part of me which is you. I feel compassion for your childish pride, for your trembling unsureness, your dramatization of events, your enhancing of the loves given to you. I surrender my sincerity because if I love you it means we share the same fantasies, the same madness."

"You must not demand the failure of your peers, because the more good things that are around in film, in television, in theater - why the better it is for all of us."

"The aftermath of the war is what inspired us to write many of our plays. The whole reason for our writing Inherit the Wind was that we were appalled at the blacklisting. We were appalled at thought control."
"The whole point of writing is to have something in your gut or in your soul or in your mind that's burning to be written."
"In no instance is there to be a musical or opera of Inherit the Wind because it doesn't sing. It's an intellectual play."
"A neurotic is a man who builds a castle in the air. A psychotic is the man who lives in it. A psychiatrist is the man who collects the rent."
"If you're going to make a musical, don't cartoon it from the play. Make it better than the play. Have a reason for making it sing."
