Famous quotes containing the words complete, plays and/or wycherley:
“Fate forces its way to the powerful and violent. With subservient obedience it will assume for years dependency on one individual: Caesar, Alexander, Napoleon, because it loves the elemental human being who grows to resemble it, the intangible element. Sometimes, and these are the most astonishing moments in world history, the thread of fate falls into the hands of a complete nobody but only for a twitching minute.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“The key word in my plays is “perhaps.””
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
“A mistress should be like a little country retreat near the town, not to dwell in constantly, but only for a night and away.”
—William Wycherley (1640–1716)
