Kenneth Tynan: Citáty anglicky

“I hope I never need to believe in God. It would be an awful confession of failure.”

As quoted in "Critic Kenneth Tynan Has Mellowed But Is Still England's Stingingest Gadfly" by Godfrey Smith in The New York Times (9 January 1966)

“We shall be judged by what we do, not by how we felt while we were doing it.”

Review of Altona, by Jean-Paul Sartre (1961), p. 97

“A villain who shares one's guilt is inevitably more attractive than a hero convinced of one's innocence.”

Review of The Changeling, by Thomas Middleton (1961), p. 75
Tynan Right and Left (1967)

“A neurosis is a secret that you don't know you're keeping.”

As quoted in The Life of Kenneth Tynan (1987) by Kathleen Tynan, p. 188

“It is the nature of ambition to make men liars and cheats, to hide the truth in their breasts, and show, like jugglers, another thing in their mouths, to cut all friendships and enmities to the measure of their own interest, and to make a good countenance without the help of good will.”

Sallust, Bellum Catilinae, X, 5. This particular translation of the original Latin is from the essay "On Liberty" by Abraham Cowley: "Sallust, therefore, who was well acquainted with them both and with many such-like gentlemen of his time, says, 'That it is the nature of ambition' (Ambitio multos mortales falsos fieri coegit, etc.) 'to make men liars and cheaters; to hide the truth in their breasts, and show, like jugglers, another thing in their mouths; to cut all friendships and enmities to the measure of their own interest, and to make a good countenance without the help of good will.'" http://ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext02/cowes10.txt The Wikiquote page for Sallust has the quote and a different translation.
