Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or theatre:

    A pregnant woman and her spouse dream of three babies—the perfect four-month-old who rewards them with smiles and musical cooing, the impaired baby, who changes each day, and the mysterious real baby whose presence is beginning to be evident in the motions of the fetus.
    T. Berry Brazelton (20th century)

    I think theatre should always be somewhat suspect.
    Václav Havel (b. 1936)
