It does not produce personal skill: our actors and actresses, with the exception of a few persons with natural gifts and graces, mostly miscultivated or half-cultivated, are simply the middle-class section of the residuum.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“The life of man is the true romance, which when it is valiantly conducted will yield the imagination a higher joy than any fiction.”
