Spectator

A spectator is a person who watches an event.

Quotes

• Beware of assuming the sterile attitude of a spectator, for life is not a spectacle, a sea of miseries is not a proscenium, a man screaming is not a dancing bear.
  • Aimé Césaire, Cahier d'un retour au pays natal (1939), Notebook of a Return to the Native Land, as translated and edited by Clayton Eshleman and Annette Smith (2001), p. 13
