About Us |
IT'S JUST A THOUGHT ...
"No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist." "While we look to the dramatist to give romance to realism, we ask of the actor to give realism to romance." "I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being." "I have nothing to declare except my genius." "A man's face is his autobiography. A woman's face is a work of fiction." On refusing to make alterations to one of his plays, "Who am I to tamper with a masterpiece?" "Imagination is a quality given to man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humour to console him for what he is." "Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes." "Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative." "Always forgive your enemies, nothing annoys them so much." "It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious." "We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars." "Pessimist: One who, when he has the choice of two evils, chooses both."
