Rare is the human being, immature or mature, who has never felt an impulse to pretend he is some one or something else.

Out of the past come the standards for judging the present; standards in turn to be shaped by the practice of present-day dramatists into broader standards for the next generation.

The drama is a great revealer of life.

There is no essential difference between the material of comedy and tragedy. All depends on the point of view of the dramatist, which, by clever emphasis, he tries to make the point of view of his audience.

No drama, however great, is entirely independent of the stage on which it is given.

Drama read to oneself is never drama at its best, and is not even drama as it should be.

We do not kill the drama, we do not really limit its appeal by failing to encourage the best in it; but we do thereby foster the weakest and poorest elements.
