Famous quotes containing the words short and/or world:
“Iambics march from short to long;—
With a leap and a bound the swift Anapaests throng;”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“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)
