“...there was the annual Fourth of July picketing at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. ...I thought it was ridiculous to have to go there in a skirt. But I did it anyway because it was something that might possibly have an effect. I remember walking around in my little white blouse and skirt and tourists standing there eating their ice cream cones and watching us like the zoo had opened.”

—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Your audience gives you everything you need. They tell you. There is no director who can direct you like an audience.”
