Famous quotes containing the words scenes and/or shot:
“The Taylor and the Painter often contribute to the Success of a Tragedy more than the Poet. Scenes affect ordinary Minds as much as Speeches; and our Actors are very sensible, that a well-dressed Play has sometimes brought them as full Audiences, as a well-written one.... But however the Show and Outside of the Tragedy may work upon the Vulgar, the more understanding Part of the Audience immediately see through it, and despise it.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
“Next to a shot of some good, habit-forming narcotic, there is nothing like travelling alone as a “builder-upper.””
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
