Famous quotes containing the words european and/or theater:
“No European spring had shown him the same intermixture of delicate grace and passionate depravity that marked the Maryland May.”

“The Miss America contest is ... the most perfectly rendered theater in our culture, for it so perfectly captures what we yearn for: a low-class ritual, a polished restatement of vulgarity, that wants to open the door to high-class respectability by way of plain middle-class anxiety and ambition.”
—Gerald Early (b. 1952)
