Famous quotes containing the words villain and/or play:
“A villain must be a thing of power, handled with delicacy and grace. He must be wicked enough to excite our aversion, strong enough to arouse our fear, human enough to awaken some transient gleam of sympathy. We must triumph in his downfall, yet not barbarously nor with contempt, and the close of his career must be in harmony with all its previous development.”
—Agnes Repplier (1858–1950)
“The play seems out for an almost infinite run.
Don’t mind a little thing like the actors fighting.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
