Famous quotes containing the words national and/or theater:
“What do we mean by patriotism in the context of our times? I venture to suggest that what we mean is a sense of national responsibility ... a patriotism which is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
“The primary function of a theater is not to please itself, or even to please its audience. It is to serve talent.”
