Romain Rolland
The theatre, like the fresco, is art fitted to its place. And therefore it is above all else the human art, the living art.

Romain Rolland

Romain Rolland
Every race, every art has its hypocrisy. The world is fed with a little truth and many lies.
Romain Rolland
One makes mistakes that is life. But it is never a mistake to have loved.
Romain Rolland
A great nation assailed by war has not only its frontiers to protect: it must also protect its good sense. It must protect itself from the hallucinations, injustices, and follies which the plague lets loose.
Romain Rolland
The more a man lives, the more a man creates, the more a man loves and loses those whom he loves, the more does he escape from death. With every new blow that we have to bear, with every new work that we round and finish, we escape from ourselves, we escape into the work we have created, the soul we have loved, the soul that has left us.
Romain Rolland
Passion is like genius: a miracle.
Romain Rolland
I find war detestable but those who praise it without participating in it even more so.
Romain Rolland
Mozart was able to do what he wished in music and he never wished to so what was beyond him.
Romain Rolland
There is only one necessary condition for the emergence of a new theatre, that the stage and auditorium should be open to the masses, should be able to contain a people and the actions of a people.
Romain Rolland
