Famous quotes containing the words standardised, written and/or forms:

    “We don’t want bores in the theatre. We don’t want standardised acting, standard actors with standard-shaped legs. Acting needs everybody, cripples, dwarfs and people with noses so long. Give us something that is different.”
    —Dame Sybil Thorndike (1882–1976)

    “A classic is a book that doesn’t have to be written again.”
    —Carl Van Doren (1885–1950)

    “Two forms move among the dead, high sleep
    Who by his highness quiets them, high peace
    Upon whose shoulders even the heavens rest,
    Two brothers. And a third form, she that says
    Good-by in the darkness, speaking quietly there,
    To those that cannot say good-by themselves.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
