Famous quotes containing the words perfect and/or season:
“But to each thought and thing allied,
Is perfect Nature’s every part,
Rooted in the mighty Heart.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The theater is a baffling business, and a shockingly wasteful one when you consider that people who have proven their worth, who have appeared in or been responsible for successful plays, who have given outstanding performances, can still, in the full tide of their energy, be forced, through lack of opportunity, to sit idle season after season, their enthusiasm, their morale, their very talent dwindling to slow gray death. Of finances we will not even speak; it is too sad a tale.”
—Ilka Chase (1905–1978)
