Famous quotes containing the word fiske:

    Idealistic producing is safe. Sensibly projected in the theater, the fine thing always does pay and always will.
    —Minnie Maddern Fiske (1865–1932)

    ...I have never known a “movement” in the theater that did not work direct and serious harm. Indeed, I have sometimes felt that the very people associated with various “uplifting” activities in the theater are people who are astoundingly lacking in idealism.
    —Minnie Maddern Fiske (1865–1932)

    People whose understanding and taste in literature, painting, and music are beyond question are, for the most part, ignorant of what is good or bad art in the theater.
    —Minnie Maddern Fiske (1865–1932)
