We believe
that the applause of silence is the only kind that counts.
-- Alfred Jarry
1873-1907, French Playwright,

To receive
applause for works which do not demand all our powers
hinders our advance towards a perfecting of our spirit. It
usually means that thereafter we stand still.
-- Georg C. Lichtenberg
1742-1799, German Physicist,
Satirist
Applause that
comes thundering with such force you might think the
audience merely suffers the music as an excuse for its
ovations.
-- Greil Marcus
1945-, American Rock
Journalist
Glorious
bouquets and storms of applause are the trimmings which
every artist naturally enjoys. But to move an audience in
such a role, to hear in the applause that unmistakable note
which breaks through good theatre manners and comes from the
heart, is to feel that you have won through to life itself.
Such pleasure does not vanish with the fall of the curtain,
but becomes part of one's own life.
-- Dame Alice Markova
