Famous quotes containing the words jerusalem and/or theater:
“And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these dark Satanic Mills?”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“All I can tell you with certainty is that I, for one, have no self, and that I am unwilling or unable to perpetrate upon myself the joke of a self.... What I have instead is a variety of impersonations I can do, and not only of myself—a troupe of players that I have internalised, a permanent company of actors that I can call upon when a self is required.... I am a theater and nothing more than a theater.”
—Philip Roth (b. 1933)
