Famous quotes containing the words passion and/or plays:
“And she, by passion once demented
MThat woman out of Botticelli—
She brews and bottles, unfermented,
The stupid and abiding jelly.”
—Peter De Vries (b. 1910)
“[Allegory] should ... be very sparingly practised, lest, whilst the writer plays with his own fancies and diverts himself by cutting the air with his wide spread wings, he should soar out of view of his readers, leaving them in confusion and perplexity to explore his viewless track.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
