Reaction Time

Famous quotes containing the words reaction and/or time:

    An actor must communicate his author’s given message—comedy, tragedy, serio- comedy; then comes his unique moment, as he is confronted by the looked-for, yet at times unexpected, reaction of the audience. This split second is his; he is in command of his medium; the effect vanishes into thin air; but that moment has a power all its own and, like power in any form, is stimulating and alluring.
    Eleanor Robson Belmont (1878–1979)

    That Time can never mar a lover’s vows
    Under that woven changeless roof of boughs:
    The singing shook him out of his new ease.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
