Exhaust Quotations
Experiences are savings which a miser puts aside. Wisdom is an inheritance which a wastrel cannot exhaust. Karl Kraus Yeah, I think we have to. If we want our shows to be - if we want the quality of the shows to be good, and we want the energy to be high, and if we want to be in good enough physical shape to do them, and not exhaust ourselves on the road, and not get stale, we have to pace. Jerry Garcia Only the really plain people know about love - the very fascinating ones try so hard to create an impression that they soon exhaust their talents. Katharine Hepburn Few people even scratch the surface, much less exhaust the contemplation of their own experience. Randolph Bourne The office of drama is to exercise, possibly to exhaust, human emotions. The purpose of comedy is to tickle those emotions into an expression of light relief; of tragedy, to wound them and bring the relief of tears. Disgust and terror are the other points of the compass. Laurence Olivier |
