Standard Deadly Force

Famous quotes containing the words standard, deadly and/or force:

    “We don’t want bores in the theatre. We don’t want standardised acting, standard actors with standard-shaped legs. Acting needs everybody, cripples, dwarfs and people with noses so long. Give us something that is different.”

    “I wish my deadly foe no worse
    Than want of friends, and empty purse.”
    —Nicholas Breton (c.1545–1626)

    “So doth, so is Religion; and this blind-
    ness too much light breeds; but unmoved thou
    Of force must one, and forc’d but one allow;
    And the right; ask thy father which is she,
    let him ask his; though truth and falsehood be
    Near twins, yet truth a little elder is;”
    —John Donne (1572–1631)
