The Open Window Quotes

“The need for amusement is growing every day. The supply is increasing with the demands. They tell me the Earl's Court Exhibition in London is drawing hundreds of people there every night. New theatres are being built. I wonder sometimes when I hear these things how long it will be before there is scarcely a home left in England. Life does not amuse people so much as it once did. in time the only things that will amuse them will be amusements. In time we shall come to be a great congregation of people, struggling, fighting, straining to forget we are alive.”
― E. Temple Thurston, The Open Window
