Famous quotes containing the words dear and/or agony:
“I should like to know who has been carried off, except poor dear me—I have been more ravished myself than anybody since the Trojan war.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“An actor rides in a bus or railroad train; he sees a movement and applies it to a new role. A woman in agony of spirit might turn her head just so; a man in deep humiliation probably would wring his hands in such a way. From straws like these, drawn from completely different sources, the fabric of a character may be built. The whole garment in which the actor hides himself is made of small externals of observation fitted to his conception of a role.”
—Eleanor Robson Belmont (1878–1979)
