"If Attila the Hun were alive today, he'd be a drama critic"
- Edward Albee
About this Quote
This quote by Edward Albee is an amusing way of saying that Attila the Hun, an intense and effective leader of the Huns in the 5th century, would not be able to make it through in today's world. Albee indicates that Attila's violent and aggressive nature would not be accepted in modern society, and instead he would need to find a more suitable job. By recommending that Attila would be a drama critic, Albee is making a joke about how Attila's abilities and character would be much better suited to a more peaceful and intellectual function. This quote is a funny way of highlighting the differences in between the past and present, and how the world has actually altered over time. It also acts as a reminder that violence and hostility are no longer accepted in today's society, which people should find better methods of expressing themselves.
This quote is written / told by Edward Albee somewhere between March 12, 1928 and today. He/she was a famous Dramatist from USA.
