Famous quotes containing the word setting:

    “it is finally as though that thing of monstrous interest
    were happening in the sky
    but the sun is setting and prevents you from seeing it”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “Only in the problem play is there any real drama, because drama is no mere setting up of the camera to nature: it is the presentation in parable of the conflict between Man’s will and his environment: in a word, of problem.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “The mind cannot support moral chaos for long. Men are under as strong a compulsion to invent an ethical setting for their behavior as spiders are to weave themselves webs.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
