Applause that comes thundering with such force you might think the audience merely suffers the music as an excuse for its ovations. ------------------------ Blind and unwavering undisciplined at all times constitutes the real strength of all free men. ------------------------ God is the tangential point between zero and infinity. ------------------------ It is conventional to call "monster" any blending of dissonant elements. I call "monster" every original inexhaustible beauty. ------------------------ The theater, bringing impersonal masks to life, is only for those who are virile enough to create new life: either as a conflict of passions subtler than those we already know, or as a complete new character. ------------------------ The virtue of dress rehearsals is that they are a free show for a select group of artists and friends of the author, and where for one unique evening the audience is almost expurgated of idiots. ------------------------ To keep up even a worthwhile tradition means vitiating the idea behind it which must necessarily be in a constant state of evolution: it is mad to try to express new feelings in a "mummified" form. ------------------------ We shall not have succeeded in demolishing everything unless we demolish the ruins as well. But the only way I can see of doing that is to use them to put up a lot of fine, well-designed buildings. ------------------------ You're looking exceptionally ugly tonight, Madam, is it because we have company? |

Theatre director: a person engaged by the management to conceal the fact that the players cannot act. ------------------------ I wonder what it is in the New York air that enables me to sit up till all hours of the night in an atmosphere which in London would make a horse dizzy, but here merely clears the brain. ------------------------ The Englishman can get along with sex quite perfectly so long as he can pretend that it isn't sex but something else. ------------------------ New Year's Resolution: To tolerate fools more gladly, provided this does not encourage them to take up more of my time. ------------------------ The English instinctively admire any man who has no talent and is modest about it. ------------------------ Don't pity me now, don't pity me never; I'm going to do nothing for ever and ever. ------------------------ I don't know very much, but what I do know I know better than anybody, and I don't want to argue about it. I know what I think about an actor or an actress, and am not interested in what anybody else thinks. |

he that increaseth his riches, increaseth his cares; but a contented mind is a hidden treasure, and trouble findeth it not." Akhenaton |
