Famous quotes containing the words motion, picture and/or actor:
“We must not suppose that, because a man is a rational animal, he will, therefore, always act rationally; or, because he has such or such a predominant passion, that he will act invariably and consequentially in pursuit of it. No, we are complicated machines; and though we have one main spring that gives motion to the whole, we have an infinity of little wheels, which, in their turns, retard, precipitate, and sometime stop that motion.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Acting is the physical representation of a mental picture and the projection of an emotional concept.”
—Laurette Taylor (1887–1946)
“I have often seen an actor laugh off the stage, but I don’t remember ever having seen one weep.”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
