There is nothing that compares to an unexpected round of applause.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We believe... that the applause of silence is the only kind that counts.
Applause, it's very nice, of course. But when you're giving, and creating, and then there is the silence of everyone sitting there, listening, waiting, that is great.
I don't really feel that I deserve all my applause.
If you walk into a room and one hundred people say, 'You are a lovely, beautiful person', who isn't going to be affected by that? But you have to tell yourself not to value that. You have to tell yourself - or at least I do - to not become accustomed to hearing applause in any way, because I think that's dangerous.
Applause is the most powerful thing... people talk about the sound of it, but what I hear is glee.
We should welcome applause whenever it comes.
Evil report carries further than any applause.
The applause is a celebration not only of the actors but also of the audience. It constitutes a shared moment of delight.
Applause that comes thundering with such force you might think the audience merely suffers the music as an excuse for its ovations.
Applause is the spur of noble minds, the end and aim of weak ones.
