Quotations from Stanislavski
- "About art one must speak and write simply and clearly." [1]
- "Those who think we sought for naturalism on the stage are mistaken. We never leaned towards such a principle. Always, then as well as now, we sought for inner truth, for the truth of feeling and experience, but as spiritual technique was only in its embryo stage among the actors of our company, we ... fell now and then into an outward and course naturalism." [2]
