"Abused as we abuse it at present, dramatic art is in no sense cathartic; it is merely a form of emotional masturbation…. It is the rarest thing to find a player who has not had his character affected for the worse by the practice of his profession. Nobody can make a habit of self-exhibition, nobody can exploit his personality for the sake of exercising a kind of hypnotic power over others, and remain untouched by the process."
"Art is one of the means whereby man seeks to redeem a life which is experienced as chaotic, senseless, and largely evil."
"The finest works of art are precious, among other reasons, because they make it possible for us to know, if only imperfectly and for a little while, what it actually feels like to think subltly and feel nobly."
"We participate in a tragedy; at a comedy we only look."
