Alas Quote by Emma Goldman
“Publishers, theatrical managers, and critics ask not for the quality inherent in creative art, but will it meet with a good sale, will it suit the palate of the people? Alas, this palate is like a dumping ground; it relishes anything that needs no mental mastication. As a result, the mediocre, the ordinary, the commonplace represents the chief literary output.”
![“If you want a commercial success - it's the confusion of commerce with art. A successful play is not considered to be the best written. It is the one that sells the most tickets. Those standards are destructive [to theatre].” quote by Edward Albee](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/fbc/edward-albee-1684_art_if-you-want-a-commercial-success-it-s-th_1951933.jpg)
