Famous quotes containing the words hazlitt, youth and/or theatre:
“There are few things in which we deceive ourselves more than in the esteem we profess to entertain for our firends. It is little better than a piece of quackery. The truth is, we think of them as we please—that is, as they please or displease us.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
“The life—the home—of my youth is cut off, and now it is you and me, my sweet one.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“The poem of the mind in the act of finding
What will suffice. It has not always had
To find: the scene was set; it repeated what
Was in the script.
Then the theatre was changed
To something else. Its past was a souvenir.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
