Famous quotes containing the words harvest, rain, theatre and/or company:
“For I have had too much
Of apple-picking: I am overtired
Of the great harvest I myself desired.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“If you meet a sectary, or a hostile partisan, never recognize the dividing lines; but meet on what common ground remains,—if only that the sun shines, and the rain rains for both; the area will widen very fast, and ere you know it the boundary mountains, on which the eye had fastened, have melted into air.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“To save the theatre, the theatre must be destroyed, the actors and actresses must all die of the plague. They poison the air, they make art impossible. It is not drama that they play, but pieces for the theatre. We should return to the Greeks, play in the open air; the drama dies of stalls and boxes and evening dress, and people who come to digest their dinner.”
—Eleonora Duse (1859–1924)
“Attending upon a prince is as dangerous as keeping company with a tiger.”
—Chinese proverb.
