Called World

Famous quotes containing the words called and/or world:

    Things that we do
    ‘Neath the Red, White and Blue,
    Though they can’t be called happy or glorious,
    Certainly keep us notorious.
    Noël Coward (1899–1973)

    If melodrama is the quintessence of drama, farce is the quintessence of theatre. Melodrama is written. A moving image of the world is provided by a writer. Farce is acted. The writer’s contribution seems not only absorbed but translated.... One cannot imagine melodrama being improvised. The improvised drama was pre-eminently farce.
    Eric Bentley (b. 1916)
