Famous quotes containing the words theatre, battle and/or honours:

    The theatre is a gross art, built in sweeps and over-emphasis. Compromise is its second name.
    Enid Bagnold (1889–1981)

    Forty years after a battle it is easy for a noncombatant to reason about how it ought to have been fought. It is another thing personally and under fire to have to direct the fighting while involved in the obscuring smoke of it.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    If a novel reveals true and vivid relationships, it is a moral work, no matter what the relationships consist in. If the novelist honours the relationship in itself, it will be a great novel.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
