Affected Ear

Famous quotes containing the words affected and/or ear:

    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 (1894–1963)

    I would like to think that no one would die anymore
    if we all believed in daisies
    but the worms know better, don’t they?
    They slide into the ear of a corpse
    and listen to his great sigh.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
