Famous quotes containing the words robson and/or argues:
“An actor rides in a bus or railroad train; he sees a movement and applies it to a new role. A woman in agony of spirit might turn her head just so; a man in deep humiliation probably would wring his hands in such a way. From straws like these, drawn from completely different sources, the fabric of a character may be built. The whole garment in which the actor hides himself is made of small externals of observation fitted to his conception of a role.”
—Eleanor Robson Belmont (1878–1979)
“A wit should no more be sincere, than a woman constant; one argues a decay of parts, as t’other of beauty.”
—William Congreve (1670–1729)
