Moon Troupe

Famous quotes containing the words moon and/or troupe:

    They are as neat as a wallet,
    opening and closing on their coins,
    the quarters, the nickels,
    straight into the crapper.
    Why shouldn’t I pull down my pants
    and moon the executioner....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    All I can tell you with certainty is that I, for one, have no self, and that I am unwilling or unable to perpetrate upon myself the joke of a self.... What I have instead is a variety of impersonations I can do, and not only of myself—a troupe of players that I have internalised, a permanent company of actors that I can call upon when a self is required.... I am a theater and nothing more than a theater.
    Philip Roth (b. 1933)
