Edith Holler Quotes

“that, seeing some great sadness, they will feel they have lived a little themselves and feel the more human besides. We are here to remind the human what the human may be, what he is capable of, both the good and the terrible. We teach the humans, in short, about the human.”
― Edward Carey, Edith Holler

“We count ourselves in sadness. So many human lives must wait and wait for their dramatic moments—months and years between events, and sometimes they never come at all. A life may rise and fall and when distilled will prove to have involved scarcely an instant of worthwhile theatre.”
― Edward Carey, Edith Holler
