Moving Image

Famous quotes containing the words moving and/or image:

    If melodrama is the quintessence of drama, farce is the quintessence of theatre. Melodrama is written. A moving image of the world is provided by a writer. Farce is acted. The writer’s contribution seems not only absorbed but translated.... One cannot imagine melodrama being improvised. The improvised drama was pre-eminently farce.
    Eric Bentley (b. 1916)

    Lear. Thou hast seen a farmer’s dog bark at a beggar?
    Gloucester. Ay, sir.
    Lear. And the creature run from the cur? There thou mightst behold the great image of authority: a dog’s obeyed in office.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
