More quotes by Ellen Terry
Imagination! Imagination! I put it first years ago, when I was asked what qualities I thought necessary for success on the stage.
Ellen Terry
The picture of me is nearly finished, and I think it is magnificent. The green and blue of the dress is splendid, and the expression as Lady Macbeth holds the crown over her head is quite wonderful.
Ellen Terry
Before you can be eccentric, you must know where the circle is.
Ellen Terry
Coroners' inquests by learned societies can't make Shakespeare a dead man.
Ellen Terry
Only a great actor finds the difficulties of the actor's art infinite.
Ellen Terry

Ellen Terry
Wonderful women! Have you ever thought how much we all, and women especially, owe to Shakespeare for his vindication of women in these fearless, high-spirited, resolute and intelligent heroines?
Ellen Terry
Security is mortal's chiefest enemy.
Ellen Terry
There is all the difference in the world between departure from recognised rules by one who has learned to obey them, and neglect of them through want of training or want of skill or want of understanding. Before you can be eccentric you must know where the circle is.
