Fire Performers

Famous quotes containing the words fire and/or performers:

    “Heap coals of fire on the head of your enemy” Mthis most uncharitable advice is found in a book [the Bible], of which charity is reckoned the standard principle.
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)

    The reason I’m in this business, I assume all performers are—it’s “Look at me, Ma!” It’s acceptance, you know—”Look at me, Ma, look at me, Ma, look at me, Ma.” And if your mother watches, you’ll show off till you’re exhausted; but if your mother goes, Ptshew!
    Lenny Bruce (1925–1966)
