Famous quotes containing the word plays:

    “The verbal poetical texture of Shakespeare is the greatest the world has known, and is immensely superior to the structure of his plays as plays. With Shakespeare it is the metaphor that is the thing, not the play.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “[Allegory] should ... be very sparingly practised, lest, whilst the writer plays with his own fancies and diverts himself by cutting the air with his wide spread wings, he should soar out of view of his readers, leaving them in confusion and perplexity to explore his viewless track.”
    —Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    “Self-interest speaks all sort of languages, and plays all sort of roles—even that of disinterest.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
