Quote by Simone Weil
More than in any other performing arts the lack of respect for acting seems to spring from the fact that every layman considers himself a valid critic.

Summary
This quote suggests that acting is commonly undervalued and disrespected because people believe that anyone can be a critic of it, regardless of their lack of expertise or knowledge in the field. Unlike other performing arts, such as music or dance, acting is often seen as a skill that anyone can evaluate and judge, leading to its consistent lack of appreciation. This quote highlights the need for a more discerning and informed perspective on acting, acknowledging its complexities and the expertise required to truly critique and appreciate it.
