“The mere mechanical technique of acting can be taught, but the spirit that is to give life to lifeless forms must be born in a man. No dramatic college can teach its pupils to think or to feel. It is Nature who makes our artists for us, though it may be Art who taught them their right mode of expression.”
Oscar Wilde
“Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over.”
Gloria Naylor
“The secret of life is in art.”
“Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.”
“One must die to life in order to be utterly a creator”
Thomas Mann
“ Without the beast there is no comparable for beauty - you must have both in art and in life ”
Daniel Robert O'Neill
“Acting is the expression of a neurotic impulse. It's a bum's life. Quitting acting, that's the sign of maturity.”
Marlon Brando
