Running Plays

Famous quotes containing the words running and/or plays:

“I abide by a rule concerning reviews: I will never ask, neither in writing nor in person, that a word be put in about my book.... One feels cleaner this way. When someone asks that his book be reviewed he risks running up against a vulgarity offensive to authorial sensibilities.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

“Shaw’s plays are the price we pay for Shaw’s prefaces.”
—James Agate (1877–1947)
