Famous quotes containing the word sybil:

    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.
    —Dame Sybil Thorndike (1882–1976)
