A DOOR MUST BE KEPT OPEN OR SHUT

Il faut qu'une porte soit ouverte ou fermée 

​

Alfred Musset

​

It is in the theater that we feel the force of the appeals made by the spirit: we are as if transposed to a new atmosphere; all the impressions are confused; the stronger helps the more fragile; enthusiasm grows and spreads; bursts forth for a moment, then silence and attention redouble; so that in this multitude of spectators, in these actors who come and go, in all this apparatus, in all these thoughts, there seems to be no more than a single thought and a single man talking to another man.
