Variety Night

Famous quotes containing the words variety and/or night:

“The best interviews—like the best biographies—should sing the strangeness and variety of the human race.”
—Lynn Barber (b. 1944)

“The night in prison was novel and interesting enough.... I found that even here there was a history and a gossip which never circulated beyond the walls of the jail. Probably this is the only house in the town where verses are composed, which are afterward printed in a circular form, but not published. I was shown quite a long list of verses which were composed by some young men who had been detected in an attempt to escape, who avenged themselves by singing them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
