Famous quotes containing the word outburst:
“War was then no longer this noble and unified outburst of souls in love with glory that he had imagined from Napoleons proclamations.”
—Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (17831842)
“As soon as I suspect a fine effect is being achieved by accident I lose interest. I am not interested ... in unskilled labor.... The scientific actor is an even worker. Any one may achieve on some rare occasion an outburst of genuine feeling, a gesture of imperishable beauty, a ringing accent of truth; but your scientific actor knows how he did it. He can repeat it again and again and again. He can be depended on.”
—Minnie Maddern Fiske (18651932)
