Theatrical Culture

Famous quotes containing the words theatrical and/or culture:

“A Carpaccio in Venice, la Berma in Phèdre, masterpieces of visual or theatrical art that the prestige surrounding them made so alive, that is so invisible, that, if I were to see a Carpaccio in a gallery of the Louvre or la Berma in some play of which I had never heard, I would not have felt the same delicious surprise at finally setting eyes on the unique and inconceivable object of so many thousands of my dreams.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

“The purpose of education is to keep a culture from being drowned in senseless repetitions, each of which claims to offer a new insight.”
