Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or contribution:
“The personal right to acquire property, which is a natural right, gives to property, when acquired, a right to protection, as a social right.”

“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)
