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 theater needs continual reminders that there is nothing more debasing than the work of those who do well what is not worth doing at all.”
