Famous quotes containing the words main and/or actor:
“Of all wit’s uses, the main one
Is to live well with who has none.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Once the curtain is raised, the actor ceases to belong to himself. He belongs to his character, to his author, to his public. He must do the impossible to identify himself with the first, not to betray the second, and not to disappoint the third.”
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
