Demon Princes/setting

Famous quotes containing the words demon, princes and/or setting:

    Oh demon within,
    I am afraid and seldom put my hand up
    to my mouth and stitch it up

    from the public voyeury eyes
    of my typewriter keys.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)

    Only in the problem play is there any real drama, because drama is no mere setting up of the camera to nature: it is the presentation in parable of the conflict between Man’s will and his environment: in a word, of problem.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
