Famous quotes containing the words live, cover and/or performances:

    Until that time comes I’ll live a thousand hopes, die a thousand times.
    —Edward T. Lowe. Erle C. Kenton. Lawrence Talbot (Lon Chaney)

    Though the whole wind
    slash at your bark,
    you are lifted up,
    aye though it hiss
    to cover you with froth.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    This play holds the season’s 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 (1893–1967)
