    —Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)

    “... actresses require protection in their art from blind abuse, from savage criticism. Their work is their religion, if they are seeking the best in their art, and to abuse that faith is to rob them, to dishonor them.”
    —Nance O’Neil (1874–1965)

    “A simple and independent mind does not toil at the bidding of any prince.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
