Bernhardt

Famous quotes containing the word bernhardt:

“The dramatic art would appear to be rather a feminine art; it contains in itself all the artifices which belong to the province of woman: the desire to please, facility to express emotions and hide defects, and the faculty of assimilation which is the real essence of woman.”
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)

“... actors of the first water are not more plentiful than playwrights of genius.”
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)

“You must have this charm to reach the pinnacle. It is made of everything and of nothing, the striving will, the look, the walk, the proportions of the body, the sound of the voice, the ease of the gestures. It is not at all necessary to be handsome or to be pretty; all that is needful is charm.”
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
