Quote by Abraham Lincoln

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak

Summary

This quote suggests that it is preferable to stay silent and be perceived as unintelligent, rather than speaking and confirming one's lack of wisdom. It reminds individuals to choose their words carefully, recognizing that speaking without enough knowledge or understanding may expose their ignorance. By choosing silence over potentially flawed remarks, one can maintain an air of mystery or potential intelligence, leaving others to wonder, rather than affirming their own foolishness.

To save the theatre, the theatre must be destroyed, the actors and actresses must all die of the plague. They poison the air, they make art impossible. It is not drama that they play, but pieces for the theatre. We should return to the Greeks, play in the open air; the drama dies of stalls and boxes and evening dress, and people who come to digest their dinner.
