Famous quotes containing the words arts and/or drama:

    Hardly any human being is capable of pursuing two professions or two arts rightly.
    Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

    Life’s so ordinary that literature has to deal with the exceptional. Exceptional talent, power, social position, wealth.... Drama begins where there’s freedom of choice. And freedom of choice begins when social or psychological conditions are exceptional. That’s why the inhabitants of imaginative literature have always been recruited from the pages of Who’s Who.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
