संत वह है जो नेकी को आकर्षक बना देता है। निस्संदेह, एक महान शिक्षक शिक्षा के साथ भी ठीक यही करता है।

लेकिन इसके जरिए मुझे एक ऐसे वक्ता के रूप में भी अपनी पहचान बनाने का मौका मिला जो अपने नाटकों को उन दर्शकों के सामने खुद पढ़ सकता है जो उन्हें सुनना पसंद करते हैं; और इस तरह तुरंत मिलने वाली सराहना से जो खुशी और आगे काम करने की प्रेरणा मिलती है, वह किसी भी, यहां तक कि सबसे शानदार समीक्षा (रिव्यू) से भी कहीं ज्यादा होती है।
But it has also enabled me to find my feet as a lecturer and a reader of my own plays to audiences who like to hear them; and that experience of immediate appreciation gives greater pleasure and more stimulus towards further activity than even the most laudatory of reviews.

हे अनादि पिता, सृष्टि के रसावतार, जीवन की वह चेतना, जो रूप रचने से भी पहले सक्रिय थी, हर राष्ट्र पर छाई इस घनी अंधेरी रात में, मानव की दृष्टिहीनता के प्रकाश, हे प्रभु, हमारे सहायक बनिए।
Father eternal, ruler of creation, Spirit of life, which moved ere form was made Through the thick darkness covering every nation Light to man's blindness, O be Thou our aid.

मेरे जीवन के आखिरी आधे हिस्से में मुझे एक ऐसे भाई का अनचाहा वरदान मिला है जिसकी साहित्यिक ख्याति मुझसे कहीं अधिक है।

मैं पूरी तरह से इस बात में विश्वास करता हूँ कि प्रेम ही इस ब्रह्मांड की केंद्रीय प्रेरक शक्ति है।

अगर मैं अगले दस वर्षों तक और जीवित रहा, तो संभवतः वह सब कुछ लिख चुका हूंगा जो मैं लिखना चाहता हूं।
If I live for another ten years I shall probably have written all that I want to write.

यदि प्रकृति ने ऐसा प्रबंध किया होता कि पति और पत्नी बारी-बारी से बच्चे पैदा करें, तो परिवार में कभी भी तीन से अधिक सदस्य नहीं होते।

मैंने कभी खुद को एक नाटककार के रूप में नहीं सोचा था, और जब तक यह खयाल आया, तब तक तकनीकी रूप से बहुत देर हो चुकी थी: एक साहित्यकार शब्दों का इतना आदी हो जाता है कि वह मंच के लिए कम शब्दों में और सधी हुई भाषा में लिखना भूल जाता है।
I had never thought of myself as a dramatist, and, for really good technical results, the thought came too late: a man of letters has become too wordy to write economically for the stage.

मैं हमेशा से पत्र लिखने का शौकीन रहा हूँ, और लंबे पत्र लिखने का; इसलिए, जब मैंने पहली बार पत्रों के रूप में एक किताब लिखने की सोची, तो मैं जानता था कि मैं इसे जल्दी और आसानी से कर सकता हूँ।
I have always been a writer of letters, and of long ones; so, when I first thought of writing a book in the form of letters, I knew that I could do it quickly and easily.

मैं कम उम्र में नहीं मरूंगा, क्योंकि मैं पहले ही सत्तर के करीब पहुँच चुका हूँ: हो सकता है कि मैं बुढ़ापे में मरूँ।
I shall not die young, for I am already near seventy: I may die old.

मैं आज भी यही मानता हूं कि यदि मानव जाति, या कम से कम एक भी राष्ट्र, भगवान के प्रति अपने दृष्टिकोण को सही कर ले, तो बाकी सब अपने आप ठीक हो जाएगा।
I still think that if the human race, or even one nation, could only get right about its God the rest would follow.

यह उचित और स्वाभाविक है कि जब उदार हृदय लोग अपने जीवन के शुरुआती दौर (बीस के दशक) में होते हैं, तो उन्हें लगता है कि दुनिया की बुराइयों को सुधारने की कोशिश करने वाली किताबें ही सबसे महान होती हैं।

मैं तब अपने बचपन के पारंपरिक रूढ़िवाद से उबर रहा था; धर्म अब मेरे लिए कोई आत्मीय चीज़ न रहकर एक ऐसा जुनून बन गया था जिससे मैं छुटकारा पाना चाहता था, और एक काल्पनिक कबीले पर लिखी गई यह व्यंग्यात्मक कहानी उसी का परिणाम थी।
I was just then going through a healthy reaction from the orthodoxy of my youth; religion had become for me not so much a possession as an obsession, which I was trying to throw off, and this iconoclastic tale of an imaginary tribe was the result.

मुकदमेबाज़ी से तो मैं जैसे-जैसे बच निकला; लेकिन मुझे गिरफ्तार किया गया, पुलिस अदालत में पेश किया गया, मैंने मुचलका भरने से इनकार कर दिया और उसके बाद मुझे बिना किसी शर्त के रिहा कर दिया गया — जिसका मुझे बहुत अफसोस है; क्योंकि मैं हमेशा से जानना चाहता था कि जेल जाना कैसा होता है।
Prosecution I have managed to avoid; but I have been arrested, charged in a police court, have refused to be bound over, and thereupon have been unconditionally released - to my great regret; for I have always wanted to know what going to prison was like.
