Wagner

Famous quotes containing the word wagner:

    ... our lives are like soap operas. We can go for months and not tune in to them, then six months later we look in and the same stuff is going on.
    —Jane Wagner (b. 1935)

    This morning I threw up at a board meeting. I was sure the cat was out of the bag, but no one seemed to think anything about it; apparently it’s quite common for people to throw up at board meetings.
    —Jane Wagner (b. 1935)

    I have witnessed, and greatly enjoyed, the first act of everything which Wagner created, but the effect on me has always been so powerful that one act was quite sufficient; whenever I have witnessed two acts I have gone away physically exhausted; and whenever I have ventured an entire opera the result has been the next thing to suicide.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
