Famous quotes containing the words written and/or late:
“A great deal of unnecessary worry is indulged in by theatregoers trying to understand what Bernard Shaw means. They are not satisfied to listen to a pleasantly written scene in which three or four clever people say clever things, but they need to purse their lips and scowl a little and debate as to whether Shaw meant the lines to be an attack on monogamy as an institution or a plea for manual training in the public school system.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“I would remind my countrymen that they are to be men first, and Americans only at a late and convenient hour.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
