Famous quotes containing the words set, top and/or boxes:
“Thou shalt not set up Wordsworth, Coleridge, Southey;
Because the first is crazed beyond all hope,
The second drunk, the third so quaint and mouthy:”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“It is not good to eat much honey, or to seek honor on top of honor.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 25:27.
“To save the theatre, the theatre must be destroyed, the actors and actresses must all die of the plague. They poison the air, they make art impossible. It is not drama that they play, but pieces for the theatre. We should return to the Greeks, play in the open air: the drama dies of stalls and boxes and evening dress, and people who come to digest their dinner.”
—Eleonora Duse (1858–1924)
