“There was a stately drama writ By the hand that peopled the earth and air, And set the stars in the infinite, And made night gorgeous and morning fair; And all that had sense to reason knew That bloody drama must be gone through. Some sat and watched how the action veered-- Waited, profited, trembled, cheered-- We saw not clearly nor understood, But yielding ourselves to the masterhand, Each in his part as best he could, We played it through as the author planned.” MadeWarReasonHandsActionEarthNightStarsMorningGoneSawsAirDramaUnderstoodFairsInfiniteSatBloodyGorgeous Author:Alan Seeger
“The paintings are not just on flat walls - you have these enormous niches, bulges and protrusions, as well as stalactites and stalagmites. The effect of the three-dimensionality is phenomenal. It's a real drama which the artists of the time understood, and they used it for the drama of their paintings.” WellsRealUsedArtistThreeEffectsPaintingWallDramaUnderstoodEnormousFlatsNichePhenomenal Author:Werner Herzog
“I think the point to be understood is that we're all different. I've never been a fan of theories of acting.

“Basically, being alive means keeping yourself ready for the sky to fall in on you at any time. If you start from the assumption that existence is only an ordeal, a test we have to pass, then you’re equipped to deal with its sorrows and its surprises. If you persist in expecting it to give you something it can’t give, that just proves that you haven’t understood anything. Take things as they come; don’t turn them into a drama. You’re not piloting the ship, you’re following the course of your destiny.” IfsGivingMeanTurnsFallCoursesDealsExistenceDestinyAliveSkyHavensReadySorrowDramaProveUnderstoodTestsSurpriseFollowingShipsAssumptionExpectingPersistOur DestinyYour DestinyOrdeals Author:Yasmina Khadra

“I am a successful lecturer in physics for popular audiences. The real entertainment gimmick is the excitement, drama and mystery of the subject matter. People love to learn something, they are 'entertained' enormously by being allowed to understand a little bit of something they never understood before. One must have faith in the subject and in people's interest in it.” PeopleLittlesRealMatterBitsInterestAudienceSuccessfulMysterySubjectsDramaLittle BitUnderstoodEntertainmentPhysicsExcitementHave FaithSubject MatterLecturerGimmicks Book:The Quotable Feynman Source: The Quotable Feynman
