Famous quotes containing the words arts and/or drama:

    Remove idleness from the world and soon the arts of Cupid would perish.
    François Rabelais (1494–1553)

    To save the theatre, the theatre must be destroyed, the actors and actresses must all die of the plague. They poison the air, they make art impossible. It is not drama that they play, but pieces for the theatre. We should return to the Greeks, play in the open air; the drama dies of stalls and boxes and evening dress, and people who come to digest their dinner.
    Eleonora Duse (1859–1924)
