Quotes by Paul Roche  (?)

“Greek tragedy operates through the ear. It is through the ear primarily that it enters the eyes, the senses, the mind, the heart. It must be spoken aloud. It is designed for that. And until that is done these plays have not been read, have not been used, have not been born.”
Paul Roche, Three Plays of Euripides: Alcestis/Medea/The Bacchae

“Besides, you are a born woman:
feeble when it comes to the sublime,
marvelously inventive over crime.”
Paul Roche, Three Plays of Euripides: Alcestis/Medea/The Bacchae

“You might, for example, be excused for declining an invitation to dinner when the menu offered was dead calf with fungus in heated dough, scorched ground tubers, and cabbage stalks, all swilled down with rotten grape juice, and topped off with the dust of burnt berries in scalding water diluted with congealed oozings from the udders of a cow. You might well decline such a bill of fare but you would miss an excellent meal of veal and mushrooms, roast potatoes and spring greens, chased by a bottle of hock and finished with a steaming cup of coffee and cream. What's in a name? Just about everything.”
Paul Roche
