On Theater- 1

"I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being."
-Oscar Wilde


"You need three things in the theater- the play, the actors, and the audience,- and each must give something."
-Kenneth Haigh

“In the theater the audience wants to be surprised but by things that they expect”

-Tristan Bernard


And on Art in general:

“All of the arts, poetry, music, ritual, the visible arts, the theater, must singly and together create the most comprehensive art of all, a humanized society, and its masterpiece, free man”

-Bernard Berenson
