Famous quotes containing the word acting:
“If we ever do end up acting just like rats or Pavlovs dogs, it will be largely because behaviorism has conditioned us to do so.”
—Richard Dean Rosen (b. 1949)
“Between the acting of a dreadful thing
And the first motion, all the interim is
Like a phantasma or a hideous dream.
The genius and the mortal instruments
Are then in council, and the state of man,
Like to a little kingdom, suffers then
The nature of an insurrection.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“It especially helps if you know that were all faking our adulthoodeven your parents and their parents. Beneath these adult trappingsin our president, in our parents, in you and melurk the emotions of a child. If we know that only about ourselves, we become infantile; if we understand that about everybody, then we have nothing to be ashamed ofunless, of course, we go around acting like a child and expecting everyone else to act like grownups.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
