Famous quotes containing the words group and/or stage:
“My routines come out of total unhappiness. My audiences are my group therapy.”
—Joan Rivers (b. 1935)
“These have been wonderful years. How many happy, happy times we have traveled about together! Day and night, in stage coaches, on freight trains, over the mountains and across the prairies, hungry and tired, we have wandered. The work was sometimes hard and discouraging but those were happy and useful years.”
—Susan B. Anthony (18201906)
