Split

Famous quotes containing the word split:

“An actor must communicate his author’s given message—comedy, tragedy, serio- comedy; then comes his unique moment, as he is confronted by the looked-for, yet at times unexpected, reaction of the audience. This split second is his; he is in command of his medium; the effect vanishes into thin air; but that moment has a power all its own and, like power in any form, is stimulating and alluring.”
—Eleanor Robson Belmont (1878–1979)

“What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life?
The world would split open”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)

“Society cannot share a common communication system so long as it is split into warring factions.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
