Come sailing by, come sailing by,
I saw three ships come sailing by,
On Christmas Day in the morning.”

“One forgets too easily the difference between a man and his image, and that there is none between the sound of his voice on the screen and in real life.”
—Robert Bresson (b. 1907)
“To save the theatre, the theatre must be destroyed, the actors and actresses must all die of the plague. They poison the air, they make art impossible. It is not drama that they play, but pieces for the theatre. We should return to the Greeks, play in the open air; the drama dies of stalls and boxes and evening dress, and people who come to digest their dinner.”
—Eleonora Duse (1859–1924)
