A great artist is always before his time or behind it

He must put his shoulder to the wheel and get it right; one more push, that was all that was wanted.

I have always noticed that when a fellow wants to finish a play, the only way to do it is to go away to the country and leave no address.

The public will accept a masterpiece, but it will not accept an attempt to write a masterpiece.

Acting is therefore the lowest of the arts, if it is an art at all.

The lot of critics is to be remembered by what they failed to understand.

Faith goes out of the window when beauty comes in at the door.
