Upper Stage

Famous quotes containing the words upper and/or stage:

“The thirst for powerful sensations takes the upper hand both over fear and over compassion for the grief of others.”

“Even the most incompetent English actor, coming on the stage briefly to announce the presence below of Lord and Lady Ditherege, gives forth a sound so soft and dulcet as almost to be a bar of music. But sometimes that is all there is. The words are lost in the graceful sweep of the notes.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
