Curtain Quotes

The one charm about the past is that it is the past. But women never know when the curtain has fallen Picture Quote #1

She lowered her lashes until they almost cuddled her cheeks and slowly raised them again, like a theatre curtain. I was to get to know that trick. That was supposed to make me roll over on my back with all four paws in the air Picture Quote #1

I feel like a curtain has dropped away and I’m seeing people for who they really are, different, and sharp, and unknowable Picture Quote #1

Last time you called me late at night you were naked and chained to your shower curtain rod. I hope this isn’t going to be disappointing Picture Quote #1

For pilots sometimes see behind the curtain, behind the veil of gossamer velvet, and find the truth behind man, the force behind a universe Picture Quote #1

Normally we’d draw the curtain here, but I just wanted to see what he’d play next Picture Quote #1

There is someone who looks after us from behind the curtain. In truth we are not here, this is our shadow Picture Quote #1

Sometimes we go to a play and after the curtain has been up five minutes we have a sense of being able to settle back in the arms of the playwright. Instinctively we know that the playwright knows his business Picture Quote #1

As a teenager I had never been able to accept the fact of having to go to the back of a bus or sit in the segregated section of a train. The first time I had been seated behind a curtain in a dining car, I felt as if the curtain had been dropped on my selfhood Picture Quote #1

This cruel age has deflected me, like a river from this course. Strayed from its familiar shores, my changeling life has flowed into a sister channel. How many spectacles I’ve missed: the curtain rising without me, and falling too. How many friends I never had the chance to meet Picture Quote #1

The town was glad with morning light; places that had shown ugly and distrustful all night long, now wore a smile; and sparkling sunbeams dancing on chamber windows, and twinkling through blind and curtain before sleepers’ eyes, shed light even into dreams, and chased away the shadows of the night Picture Quote #1

A curtain of stars, miles of them, are scattered, glowing, across the sky and their multitude humbles me, which I have a hard time tolerating. She shrugs and nods after I say something about forms of anxiety. It’s as if her mind is having a hard time communicating with her mouth, as if she is searching for a rational analysis of who I am, which is, of course, an impossibility: there... is... no... key Picture Quote #1

For me the world has always been more of a puppet show. But when one looks behind the curtain and traces the strings upward he finds they terminate in the hands of yet other puppets, themselves with their own strings which trace upward in turn, and so on. In my own life I saw these strings whose origins were endless enact the deaths of great men in violence and madness. Enact the ruin of a nation Picture Quote #1

Think of all your experiences as a huge tapestry that can be laid out in whatever pattern you wish. Each day you add a new thread to the weaving. Do you craft a curtain to hide behind, or do you fashion a magic carpet that will care you to unequaled heights? Picture Quote #1

Nature has many scenes to exhibit, and constantly draws a curtain over this part or that. She is constantly repainting the landscape and all surfaces, dressing up some scene for our entertainment. Lately we had a leafy wilderness; now bare twigs begin to prevail, and soon she will surprise us with a mantle of snow. Some green she thinks so good for our eyes that, like blue, she never banishes it entirely from our eyes, but has created evergreens Picture Quote #1

The world of learning is so broad, and the human soul is so limited in power! We reach forth and strain every nerve, but we seize only a bit of the curtain that hides the infinite from us Picture Quote #1

I mean you pull the curtain away, and you see I’m just as insecure and neurotic and scared and vulnerable as anybody, you know Picture Quote #1

The theatre is not the place for the musician. When the curtain is up the music interrupts the actor, and when it is down the music interrupts the audience Picture Quote #1

After all, no one is ever taken in by the happy ending, but we are often divinely fuddled by the tragic curtain Picture Quote #1

The worst thing you can do is start slow, or con yourself into thinking that you can take your time getting into a match. The curtain is up so you’ve got to perform Picture Quote #1

I don’t like when actors go around and talk a ton about how they approach their roles, because it’s a little like pulling the curtain back on Oz, for me Picture Quote #1

I thought the play was frightful but I saw it under particularly unfortunate circumstances. The curtain was up Picture Quote #1

There is a curtain, thin as gossamer, clear as glass, strong as iron, that hangs forever between the world of magic and the world that seems to us to be real Picture Quote #1

It is useless to put news agency stories behind the paid curtain because they are available in thousands of other places that will be free Picture Quote #1

One of the few things in dance to match the Royal Ballet’s curtain calls is the Royal Ballet’s dancing Picture Quote #1

The moment the curtain rose on that first ballet, I knew something wonderful and new had come into my life. I can still see the first scene. The ballet was Divertimento No. 15 Picture Quote #1
