Horton Foote quotes
I've known people that the world has thrown everything at to discourage them... to break their spirit. And yet something about them retains a dignity. They face life and don't ask quarters.
Horton Foote
I'm a social writer in the sense that I want to record, but not in the sense of trying to change people's minds.
Horton Foote
In New York, there are a lot of plays to see, and I try to see as many as I can.
Horton Foote
I so earnestly believe that prayer can be helpful and guide you and protect you and inspire you. I mean, I'm in awe.
Horton Foote
A writer has an inescapable voice. I think it's inherent in the nature, and I think that we don't control it anymore than we control what we want to write about.
Horton Foote
I believe very deeply in the human spirit, and I have a sense of awe about it. I look around and ask, 'What makes the difference? What is it?' I've known people the world has thrown everything at - to discourage them, to kill them, to break their spirit. And yet something about them retains a dignity. They face life and they don't ask quarters.
Horton Foote
I often write about nonreligious people, and I try to find situations where their sense of humanity is restored or discovered. I think you can be a good person in many ways. And I think you often have to be careful that prayer can seem superficial, because it's a very complicated thing to love your neighbor as yourself.
