Famous quotes containing the words plain and/or speaker:
“Only the really plain people know about love—the very fascinating ones try so hard to create an impression that they very soon exhaust their talents.”
—Katharine Hepburn (b. 1909)
“English audiences of working people are like an instrument that responds to the player. Thought ripples up and down them, and if in some heart the speaker strikes a dissonance there is a swift answer. Always the voice speaks from gallery or pit, the terrible voice which detaches itself in every English crowd, full of caustic wit, full of irony or, maybe, approval.”
—Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)
