Sit

Famous quotes containing the word sit:

“The theater is a baffling business, and a shockingly wasteful one when you consider that people who have proven their worth, who have appeared in or been responsible for successful plays, who have given outstanding performances, can still, in the full tide of their energy, be forced, through lack of opportunity, to sit idle season after season, their enthusiasm, their morale, their very talent dwindling to slow gray death. Of finances we will not even speak; it is too sad a tale.”
—Ilka Chase (1905–1978)

““You must sit down, says Love, and taste my meat:”
So I did sit and eat.”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)

“Wise men ne’er sit and wail their woes,
But presently prevent the ways to wail.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
