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)

    This is what no one warns you about, when you decide to have children. There is so much written about the cost and the changes in your way of life, but no one ever tells you that what they are going to hand you in the hospital is power, whether you want it or not.... I should have known, but somehow overlooked for a time, that parents become, effortlessly, just by showing up, the most influential totems in the lives of their children.
    Anna Quindlen (20th century)

    The blood weeps from my heart when I do shape,
    In forms imaginary, th’ unguided days
    And rotten times that you shall look upon
    When I am sleeping with my ancestors.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
