You must learn, day by day, year by year, to broaden your horizon.
Ethel Barrymore
Image
The arts are not just instantaneous pleasure - if you don't like it, the artist is wrong. I belong to the generation which says if you don't like it, you don't understand and you ought to find out.
Ethel Barrymore
Image

Ethel Barrymore
Image

Ethel Barrymore
Image
You grow up the day you have the first real laugh at yourself.
Ethel Barrymore

The great actors are the luminous ones. They are the great conductors of the stage.

Is everybody happy? I want everybody to be happy. I know I'm happy.
