Split

Famous quotes containing the word split:

    Let my hands find such symbols, that can be
    Unnoticed in the casual light of day,
    Lying in wait for half a century
    To split chance lives across, that had not dreamed
    Such coasts had echoed, or such seabirds screamed.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Oh! it offends me to the soul to hear a robustious periwig-pated fellow, tear a passion to tatters, to very rags, to split the ears of the groundlings.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    An actor must communicate his author’s given message—comedy, tragedy, serio- comedy; then comes his unique moment, as he is confronted by the looked-for, yet at times unexpected, reaction of the audience. This split second is his; he is in command of his medium; the effect vanishes into thin air; but that moment has a power all its own and, like power in any form, is stimulating and alluring.
    Eleanor Robson Belmont (1878–1979)
