Individual Actors

Famous quotes containing the words individual and/or actors:

“The trouble with the sacred Individual is that he has no significance, except as he can acquire it from others, from the social whole.”
—Bernard Devoto (1897–1955)

“It has no share in the leadership of thought: it does not even reflect its current. It does not create beauty: it apes fashion. It does not produce personal skill: our actors and actresses, with the exception of a few persons with natural gifts and graces, mostly miscultivated or half-cultivated, are simply the middle-class section of the residuum.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
