Famous quotes containing the word chase:
“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 (19051978)
“The beaux and the babies, the servant troubles, and the social aspirations of the other girls seemed to me superficial. My work did not. I was professional. I could earn my own money, or I could be fired if I were inefficient. It was something to get your teeth into. It was living.”
—Edna Woolman Chase (18771957)
“Martin Pawley: Do ya think maybes theres a chance we still might find her?
Ethan Edwards: Injunll chase a thing til he thinks hes chased it enough. Then he quits. Same way when he runs. Seems like he never learns theres such a thing as a critter thatll just keep comin on. So well find em in the end. I promise ya. Well find em, just as sure as the turnin of the earth.”
—Frank S. Nugent (19081965)
