Famous quotes containing the words instrument and/or makers:

    “The actor should not play a part. Like the Aeolian harps that used to be hung in the trees to be played only by the breeze, the actor should be an instrument played upon by the character he depicts.”
    —Alla Nazimova (1879–1945)

    “All that we call ideal in Greek or any other art, because to us it is false and visionary, was, to the makers of it, true and existent.”
    —John Ruskin (1819–1900)
