Famous quotes containing the words theatrical and/or work:
“Be reflective ... and stay away from the theater as much as you can. Stay out of the theatrical world, out of its petty interests, its inbreeding tendencies, its stifling atmosphere, its corroding influence. Once become “theatricalized,” and you are lost, my friend; you are lost.”
—Minnie Maddern Fiske (1865–1932)
“He does not go to the dictionary, the word-book, but to the word-manufactory itself, and has made endless work for the lexicographers.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
