“If melodrama is the quintessence of drama, farce is the quintessence of theatre. Melodrama is written. A moving image of the world is provided by a writer. Farce is acted. The writers contribution seems not only absorbed but translated.... One cannot imagine melodrama being improvised. The improvised drama was pre-eminently farce.”
—Eric Bentley (b. 1916)
“It is the manner of gods and prophets to begin: Thou shalt have none other God or Prophet but me. If I were to start as a God or a prophet I think I should take the line: Thou shalt not believe in me. Thou shalt not have me for a God. Thou shalt worship any d_____d thing thou likest except me. This should be my first and great commandment, and my second should be like unto it.”
—Samuel Butler (18351902)
