Dramatist

Famous quotes containing the word dramatist:

    Only ambition is fired by the coincidences of success and easy accomplishment but nothing is quite as splendidly uplifting to the heart as the defeat of a human being who battles against the invincible superiority of fate. This is always the most grandiose of all tragedies, one sometimes created by a dramatist but created thousands of times by life.
    Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    The great dramatist has something better to do than to amuse either himself or his audience. He has to interpret life.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    A dramatist is one who believes that the pure event, an action involving human beings, is more arresting than any comment that can be made upon it.
    Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)
