Letter "T" » The Theatre
«The theater, which is in no thing, but makes use of everything -- gestures, sounds, words, screams, light, darkness -- rediscovers itself at precisely the point where the mind requires a language to express its manifestations. To break through language in order to touch life is to create or recreate the theatre.»
«The theatre is the best way of showing the gap between what is said and what is seen to be done, and that is why, ragged and gap-toothed as it is, it has still a far healthier potential than some poorer, abandoned arts.»
«Unless the theatre can ennoble you, make you a better person, you should flee from it.»
«You know, I go to the theatre to be entertained. I don?t want to see plays about rape, sodomy and drug addiction...I can get all that at home.»
«The truth, the absolute truth, is that the chief beauty for the theatre consists in fine bodily proportions.»
«The theatre is supremely fitted to say: ''Behold! These things are.'' Yet most dramatists employ it to say: ''This moral truth can be learned from beholding this action.''»
«The theatre, for all its artifices, depicts life in a sense more truly than history, because the medium has a kindred movement to that of real life, though an artificial setting and form.»
«Our instructed vagrancy, which has hardly time to linger by the hedgerows, but runs away early to the tropics, and is at home with palms and banyans -which is nourished on books of travel, and stretches the theatre of its imagination to the Zambezi.»
