Sylvan Theater

Famous quotes containing the words sylvan and/or theater:

“In miracles of pomp, we must be proud,
As if associates of the sylvan gods.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“All I can tell you with certainty is that I, for one, have no self, and that I am unwilling or unable to perpetrate upon myself the joke of a self.... What I have instead is a variety of impersonations I can do, and not only of myself—a troupe of players that I have internalised, a permanent company of actors that I can call upon when a self is required.... I am a theater and nothing more than a theater.”
—Philip Roth (b. 1933)
