Famous quotes containing the words character and/or actors:
“A character is like an acrostic or Alexandrian stanza;—read it forward, backward, or across, it still spells the same thing.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The actors today really need the whip hand. They’re so lazy. They haven’t got the sense of pride in their profession that the less socially elevated musical comedy and music hall people or acrobats have. The theater has never been any good since the actors became gentlemen.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
