Famous quotes containing the words state and/or actors:
“A state is not a state if it belongs to one man.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
“The actors today really need the whip hand. They’re so lazy. They haven’t got the sense of pride in their profession that the less socially elevated musical comedy and music hall people or acrobats have. The theater has never been any good since the actors became gentlemen.”
