Famous quotes containing the words stage and/or casts:
“Their rebukes have never made me angry, because I have always wondered why they did not rebuke me more. They should have. Their friendly praise has been one of the sweetest, most warming things in my life in the theater. I do go on the stage unafraid of them and with love in my heart for them.”
—Minnie Maddern Fiske (18651932)
“Christ follows Dionysus,
Phallic and ambrosial
Made way for macerations;
Caliban casts out Ariel.”
—Ezra Pound (18851972)
