Fielding Play

Famous quotes containing the words fielding and/or play:

    I had some short struggle in my mind whether I should resign my lover or my liberty, but this lasted not long. I found myself as free as air and could not bear the thought of putting myself in any man’s power for life only from a present capricious inclination.
    —Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    A play there is, my lord, some ten words long,
    Which is as brief as I have known a play,
    But by ten words, my lord, it is too long,
    Which makes it tedious.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
