Famous quotes containing the words successful, child and/or actor:
“The most successful tempters and thus the most dangerous are the deluded deluders.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
“Mankind owes to the child the best it has to give.”

“An actor rides in a bus or railroad train; he sees a movement and applies it to a new role. A woman in agony of spirit might turn her head just so; a man in deep humiliation probably would wring his hands in such a way. From straws like these, drawn from completely different sources, the fabric of a character may be built. The whole garment in which the actor hides himself is made of small externals of observation fitted to his conception of a role.”
—Eleanor Robson Belmont (1878–1979)
