Famous quotes containing the words verse and/or drama:
“All which is not prose is verse; and all which is not verse is prose.”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)
“Life’s so ordinary that literature has to deal with the exceptional. Exceptional talent, power, social position, wealth.... Drama begins where there’s freedom of choice. And freedom of choice begins when social or psychological conditions are exceptional. That’s why the inhabitants of imaginative literature have always been recruited from the pages of Who’s Who.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
