Scene

Famous quotes containing the word scene:

    How many ages hence
    Shall this our lofty scene be acted over
    In states unborn and accents yet unknown!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Clear and diminished like a scene cut in cameo
    The lighthouse, and the boat on the beach, and the two shapes
    Of the woman and the man;
    Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    I suppose that Paderewski can play superbly, if not quite at his best, while his thoughts wander to the other end of the world, or possibly busy themselves with a computation of the receipts as he gazes out across the auditorium.

    Minnie Maddern Fiske (1865–1932)
