Famous quotes containing the words woman and/or play:
“I have nothing
Of woman in me; now from head to foot
I am marble-constant.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“There has been in our time a lack of reliance on language and a lack of experimentation which are frightening to anyone who sees them as symptoms. We know the phenomenon of stage-fright: it holds the player shivering, incapable of speech or action. Perhaps there is an audience-fright which the play can feel, which leaves him with these incapacities.”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
