"Back through the ages of barbarism and civilization, in all tongues, we find this instinctive pleasure in the imitative action that is the very essence of all drama."
Civilization
"When the drama attains a characterization which makes the play a revelation of human conduct and a dialogue which characterizes yet pleases for itself, we reach dramatic literature."
Drama
"In reading plays, however, it should always be remembered that any play, however great, loses much when not seen in action."
Action
"Drama read to oneself is never drama at its best, and is not even drama as it should be."
Drama
"In the best farce today we start with some absurd premise as to character or situation, but if the premises be once granted we move logically enough to the ending."
Character
"What then is tragedy? In the Elizabethan period it was assumed that a play ending in death was a tragedy, but in recent years we have come to understand that to live on is sometimes far more tragic than death."
Death
"Sensitive, responsive, eagerly welcomed everywhere, the drama, holding the mirror up to nature, by laughter and by tears reveals to mankind the world of men."
Men
"Rare is the human being, immature or mature, who has never felt an impulse to pretend he is some one or something else."
Being
"But what is drama? Broadly speaking, it is whatever by imitative action rouses interest or gives pleasure."
Action
"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."
