George Jean Nathan

George Jean Nathan was an influential American drama critic and editor known for his sharp wit and contributions to American theater.

"A poet, any real poet, is simply an alchemist who transmutes his cynicism regarding human beings into an optimism regarding the moon, the stars, the heavens, and the flowers, to say nothing of the spring, love, and dogs."

George Jean Nathan

"No man can think clearly when his fists are clenched."
