Famous quotes containing the word theatre:

    “The theatre is the involuntary reflex of the ideas of the crowd.”
    —Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)

    “For the theatre one needs long arms; it is better to have them too long than too short. An artiste with short arms can never, never make a fine gesture.”
    —Sarah Bernhardt (1844–1923)

    “Glorious bouquets and storms of applause ... are the trimmings which every artist naturally enjoys. But to move an audience in such a role, to hear in the applause that unmistakable note which breaks through good theatre manners and comes from the heart, is to feel that you have won through to life itself. Such pleasure does not vanish with the fall of the curtain, but becomes part of one’s own life.”
    —Dame Alice Markova (b. 1910)
