Tableau Quotations

Indeed, history is nothing more than a tableau of crimes and misfortunes.
Voltaire

Tony Curtis

The goal is always to make a nice tableau painting with the voice. The more color I can find, the more shadow I can find - the goal is always to make more nuance and colors.
Cecilia Bartoli

The simple tableau is so rich with meaning that whether represented on the mantelpiece or in the mind, it seems suspended, complete unto itself, somewhere in eternity.
Lucinda Franks
