For the theatre one needs long arms... an artiste with short arms can never make a fine gesture.

For the theatre one needs long arms; it is better to have them too long than too short. An artiste with short arms can never, never make a fine gesture.

The theatre is the involuntary reflex of the ideas of the crowd.

He who is incapable of feeling strong passions, of being shaken by anger, of living in every sense of the word, will never be a good actor.

Short cuts make long delays.

Life is short, and it is up to you to make it sweet.
