Gala Nights

Famous quotes containing the words gala and/or nights:

“The director is simply the audience. So the terrible burden of the director is to take the place of that yawning vacuum, to be the audience and to select from what happens during the day which movement shall be a disaster and which a gala night. His job is to preside over accidents.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1984)

“You still whispered you would not die.
Yet in the nights I heard you cry
Like a whipped child;”
—William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)
