Famous quotes containing the words high and/or command:
“Wedding is great Juno’s crown,
O blessed bond of board and bed!

High wedlock then be honorèd.
Honor, high honor, and renown
To Hymen, god of every town!”

“An actor must communicate his author’s given message—comedy, tragedy, serio- comedy; then comes his unique moment, as he is confronted by the looked-for, yet at times unexpected, reaction of the audience. This split second is his; he is in command of his medium; the effect vanishes into thin air; but that moment has a power all its own and, like power in any form, is stimulating and alluring.”
—Eleanor Robson Belmont (1878–1979)
