Eleonora Duse Quote

Work means so many things! So many! Among other things work also means freedom. ... Without it even the miracle of love is only a cruel deception.

About Eleonora Duse

Eleonora Giulia Amalia Duse DEW-zay, Italian: [eleoˈnɔːra ˈduːze]; 3 October 1858 – 21 April 1924), often known simply as Duse, was an Italian actress, rated by many as the greatest of her time. She performed in many countries, notably in the plays of Gabriele D'Annunzio and Henrik Ibsen. Duse achieved a unique power of conviction and verity on the stage through intense absorption in the character, "eliminating the self" as she put it, and letting the qualities emerge from within, not imposed through artifice.
