Moving Frames

Famous quotes containing the words moving and/or frames:

“If melodrama is the quintessence of drama, farce is the quintessence of theatre. Melodrama is written. A moving image of the world is provided by a writer. Farce is acted. The writer’s contribution seems not only absorbed but translated.... One cannot imagine melodrama being improvised. The improvised drama was pre-eminently farce.”
—Eric Bentley (b. 1916)

“For laughter frames the lips of death—
Death frames the Singer and the Song.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
