A woman can look both moral and exciting... if she also looks as if it was quite a struggle.
Edna Ferber
Being an old maid is like death by drowning, a really delightful sensation after you cease to struggle.
Edna Ferber
Big doesn't necessarily mean better. Sunflowers aren't better than violets.
Edna Ferber
Christmas isn't a season. It's a feeling.
Edna Ferber

Edna Ferber
Life can't defeat a writer who is in love with writing, for life itself is a writer's lover until death.
Edna Ferber
Living the past is a dull and lonely business; looking back strains the neck muscles, causing you to bump into people not going your way.
Edna Ferber
Only amateurs say that they write for their own amusement. Writing is not an amusing occupation. It is a combination of ditch-digging, mountain-climbing, treadmill and childbirth... But amusing? Never.
Edna Ferber
Roast Beef, medium, is not only a food. It is a philosophy. Seated at Life's Dining Table, with the menu of Morals before you, your eye wanders a bit over the entrTes, the hors d'oeuvres, and the things a la though you know that Roast Beef, medium, is safe and sane, and sure.
Edna Ferber
Writers should be read but not seen. Rarely are they a winsome sight.
Edna Ferber
Your idea of bliss is to wake up on a Monday morning knowing you haven't a single engagement for the entire week. You are cradled in a white paper cocoon tied up with typewriter ribbon.
