Sybil Maiden

Famous quotes containing the words sybil and/or maiden:

    We don’t want bores in the theatre. We don’t want standardised acting, standard actors with standard-shaped legs. Acting needs everybody, cripples, dwarfs and people with noses so long. Give us something that is different.
    —Dame Sybil Thorndike (1882–1976)

    That is the man all tattered and torn
    That kissed the maiden all forlorn
