Famous quotes containing the word theme:

    “This is certainly not the place for a discourse about what festivals are for. Discussions on this theme were plentiful during that phase of preparation and on the whole were fruitless. My experience is that discussion is fruitless. What sets forth and demonstrates is the sight of events in action, is living through these events and understanding them.”
    —Doris Lessing (b. 1919)

    “She is a theme of honor and renown,
    A spur to valiant and magnanimous deeds,
    Whose present courage may beat down our foes,
    And fame in time to come canonize us.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “If a theme or idea is too near the surface, the novel becomes simply a tract illustrating an idea.”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
