“I believe this thought, of the possibility of death - if calmly realised, and steadily faced would be one of the best possible tests as to our going to any scene of amusement being right or wrong. If the thought of sudden death acquires, for you, a special horror when imagined as happening in a theatre, then be very sure the theatre is harmful for you, however harmless it may be for others; and that you are incurring a deadly peril in going.” IfsBelieveMayWould BeI BelieveSpecialPossibilityHorrorSceneHappeningsTestsTheatreAcquireAmusementPerilRealisedSudden DeathIncurring Book:Sylvie and Bruno Source: Sylvie and Bruno
“I think the novel is essentially a comic form (tragedy is for the theatre), not meaning by that full of jokes, but that it is about the absurd detail of human life, the way in which one cannot fully understand what is happening. Life is muddle and jumble and ends inconclusively, and when this is presented with great comic art the sorrows of human life can be truthfully conveyed; one is moved by the spectacle, and feels that something truthful has been told in a magic way.” ThinkingWayFeelsHumansHas BeensArtEndsFormLife IsNovelMagicSorrowHappeningsJokesTragedyMovedDetailsTheatreAbsurdComicHuman LifeTruthfulBeing TruthfulMuddleComic Art Author:Iris Murdoch
“The fantastic thing about the theatre is that it can make something be seen that's invisible, and that's where my interest in theatre is- that you can be watching this thing happening with actors and costumes and light and set and language, and even plot, and something emerges from beyond that, and that's the image part that I'm looking for, that sort of added dimension.” LightActorsLanguageInterestHappeningsTheatreThings HappenInvisibleFantasticDimensionsPlotCostumes Book:Fool for Love and Other Plays Source: Fool for Love and Other Plays
“The walk is like a matrix, like a diffuse, vague happening. It's like - imagine a play, a work of theatre, that is totally vague, almost devoid of details that consists in one person going on a walk. And as a consequence, there is a necessary tension between the determinacy and indeterminacy, the definite and the indefinite, of possibility.” PersonsPlayWalksImaginePossibilityHappeningsConsequenceDetailsTheatreTensionDefiniteVague Author:Sergio Chejfec
“We [me and Alex Kendrick] had our pastor's blessing back in 2013 to launch out, and so we shot [ War Room] last year, in 2014, but we still had the church pray over us , before the movie hit theatres, and the pastor was asking God to bless the film, and so we're very excited about what's happening .” YearsStillsWarLastsPastFilmChurchRoomsPrayingBlessingHappeningsShotsAskingExcitedTheatreBlessLast YearOur PastPastorAlexAsking God Author:Stephen Kendrick
“Early British pop was helped tremendously by the writing of Bob Dylan who had proved you could write about political and quite controversial subjects.
