Oldest Player

Famous quotes containing the words oldest and/or player:

    The oldest hath borne most; we that are young
    Shall never see so much, nor live so long.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    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)
