The Guardian by Pater, Walter Horatio View in context

And though I have sometimes endeavoured to convince actors that they are mistaken in this notion they have adopted, and that they would attract more people, and get more credit, by producing plays in accordance with the rules of art, than by absurd ones, they are so thoroughly wedded to their own opinion that no argument or evidence can wean them from it.

Don Quixote by Cervantes, Miguel View in context

But they have a taste for all representers and actors of great things.

Thus Spake Zarathustra: A Book For All And None by Nietzsche, Friedrich View in context
