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)

“Berowne they call him, but a merrier man,
Within the limit of becoming mirth,
I never spent an hour’s talk withal.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
