Stage Quotations
All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.
William Shakespeare
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
William Shakespeare
Old age, believe me, is a good and pleasant thing. It is true you are gently shouldered off the stage, but then you are given such a comfortable front stall as spectator.
Confucius
The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.
Oscar Wilde
When we are born we cry that we are come to this great stage of fools.
William Shakespeare
I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano; A stage where every man must play a part, And mine is a sad one.
William Shakespeare
There is but one stage for the peasant and the actor.
Henry David Thoreau
I probably hold the distinction of being one movie star who, by all laws of logic, should never have made it. At each stage of my career, I lacked the experience.
Audrey Hepburn
Music makes me high on stage, and that's the truth. It's like being almost addicted to music.
Jimi Hendrix
I enjoyed the courtroom as just another stage but not so amusing as Broadway.
Mae West
