Pieces

Famous quotes containing the word pieces:

    Truth is one, but error proliferates. Man tracks it down and cuts it up into little pieces hoping to turn it into grains of truth. But the ultimate atom will always essentially be an error, a miscalculation.
    René Daumal (1908–1944)

    Great lovers lie in Hell, the stubborn ones
    Infatuate of the flesh upon the bones;
    Stuprate, they rend each other when they kiss,
    The pieces kiss again, no end to this.
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    To save the theatre, the theatre must be destroyed, the actors and actresses must all die of the plague. They poison the air, they make art impossible. It is not drama that they play, but pieces for the theatre. We should return to the Greeks, play in the open air; the drama dies of stalls and boxes and evening dress, and people who come to digest their dinner.
    Eleonora Duse (1859–1924)
