Famous quotes containing the words improved and/or player:
“And when religious sects ran mad,
He held, in spite of all his learning,
That if a mans belief is bad,
It will not be improved by burning.”
—Winthrop Mackworth Praed (18021839)
“Abused as we abuse it at present, dramatic art is in no sense cathartic; it is merely a form of emotional masturbation.... It is the rarest thing to find a player who has not had his character affected for the worse by the practice of his profession. Nobody can make a habit of self-exhibition, nobody can exploit his personality for the sake of exercising a kind of hypnotic power over others, and remain untouched by the process.”
—Aldous Huxley (18941963)
