Famous quotes containing the words live, cover and/or performances:
“To stroll is a science, it is the gastronomy of the eye. To walk is to vegetate, to stroll is to live.... To stroll is to enjoy, it is to assume a mind-set, it is to admire the sublime pictures of unhappiness, of love, of joy, of graceful or grotesque portraits; it is to plunge ones vision to the depths of a thousand existences: young, it is to desire everything; old, it is to live the life of the young, to marry their passions.”
—HonorĂ© De Balzac (17991850)
“I wouldnt pray just for a old man thats dead because hes all right. If I was to pray, Id pray for the folks thats alive and dont know which way to turn. Grampa here, he aint got no more trouble like that. Hes got his job all cut out for him. So cover him up and let him get to it.”
—Nunnally Johnson (18971977)
“This play holds the seasons record [for early closing], thus far, with a run of four evening performances and one matinee. By an odd coincidence it ran just five performances too many.”
—Dorothy Parker (18931967)
