Famous quotes containing the word theatre:

    “People fall out of windows, trees tumble down,
    Summer is changed to winter, the young grow old
    The air is full of children, statues, roofs
    And snow. The theatre is spinning round,
    Colliding with deaf-mute churches and optical trains.
    The most massive sopranos are singing songs of scales.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Make them laugh, make them cry, and back to laughter. What do people go to the theatre for? An emotional exercise.... I am a servant of the people. I have never forgotten that.”
    —Mary Pickford (1893–1979)

    “The theatre is a gross art, built in sweeps and over-emphasis. Compromise is its second name.”
    —Enid Bagnold (1889–1981)
