Annie Dillard
“I set up and staged hundreds of ends-of-the-world and watched, enthralled, as they played themselves out.”
― Annie Dillard, Teaching a Stone to Talk: Expeditions and Encounters

Daphne du Maurier
“We can see the film stars of yesterday in yesterday’s films, hear the voices of poest and singers on a record, keep the plays of dead dramatists upon our bookshelves, but the actor who holds his audience captive for one brief moment upon a lighted stage vanishes forever when the curtain falls. ”
― Daphne du Maurier, The "Rebecca" Notebook: And Other Memories
