Contribution Limit

Famous quotes containing the words contribution and/or limit:

“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 writer’s contribution seems not only absorbed but translated.... One cannot imagine melodrama being improvised. The improvised drama was pre-eminently farce.”
—Eric Bentley (b. 1916)

“No one who cannot limit himself has ever been able to write.”
—Nicolas Boileau-Despréaux (1636–1711)
