Performance Required

Famous quotes containing the words performance and/or required:

“The child to be concerned about is the one who is actively unhappy, [in school]....

—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)

“It required some rudeness to disturb with our boat the mirror-like surface of the water, in which every twig and blade of grass was so faithfully reflected; too faithfully indeed for art to imitate, for only Nature may exaggerate herself.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
