Scene

Famous quotes containing the word scene:

    “The poem of the mind in the act of finding
    What will suffice. It has not always had
    To find: the scene was set; it repeated what
    Was in the script.
    Then the theatre was changed
    To something else. Its past was a souvenir.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “The modern woman is the curse of the universe. A disaster, that’s what. She thinks that before her arrival on the scene no woman ever did anything worthwhile before, no woman was ever liberated until her time, no woman really ever amounted to anything.”
    —Adela Rogers St. Johns (1894–1988)

    “Ecstasy is not really part of the scene we can do on celluloid.”
    —Orson Welles (1915–1984)
