Oldest Player

Famous quotes containing the words oldest and/or player:

    “The age of a woman doesn’t mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles.”
    —Sigmund Z. Engel (b. 1869)

    “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)
