Alan Sillitoe - Plays

Famous quotes containing the word plays:

“[Allegory] should ... be very sparingly practised, lest, whilst the writer plays with his own fancies and diverts himself by cutting the air with his wide spread wings, he should soar out of view of his readers, leaving them in confusion and perplexity to explore his viewless track.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

“Man is neither angel nor beast, and the unfortunate thing is that he who would play the angel plays the beast.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

“The string quartet plays for itself,
gently, gently, sleeves and waxy bows.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
