“Right after the assassination of Osama bin Laden, amid all the cheers and applause, there were a few critical comments questioning the legality of the act.”

“When secular figures are turned into divinities, they way they are in Peian Yang or Stanford University - that I don't like.”

“The 'free-floating intellectual' may occupy himself with problems because of their inherent interest and importance, perhaps to little effect.”

“I've always believed applause is food for an artist.”

“Applause that comes thundering with such force you might think the audience merely suffers the music as an excuse for its ovations.”

“Behind the footlights there is always the applause, which stimulates the actors. On the screen it is a different matter.”
