Knocking Player

Famous quotes containing the words knocking and/or player:

“But I died yesterday,
“Daddy,” I died,
swallowing the Nazi-Jap-animal
and it won’t get out
it keeps knocking at my eyes,
my big orphan eyes....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“There has been in our time a lack of reliance on language and a lack of experimentation which are frightening to anyone who sees them as symptoms. We know the phenomenon of stage-fright: it holds the player shivering, incapable of speech or action. Perhaps there is an audience-fright which the play can feel, which leaves him with these incapacities.”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
