Famous quotes containing the words battles and, battles, western and/or theater:

    “To compose our character is our duty, not to compose books, and to win, not battles and provinces, but order and tranquillity in our conduct.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “These battles sound incredible to us. I think that posterity will doubt if such things ever were,—if our bold ancestors who settled this land were not struggling rather with the forest shadows, and not with a copper-colored race of men. They were vapors, fever and ague of the unsettled woods. Now, only a few arrowheads are turned up by the plow. In the Pelasgic, the Etruscan, or the British story, there is nothing so shadowy and unreal.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “All right, so there he is, our representative to the world, Mr. Western Civilization, in codpiece and pantyhose up there on the boards, firing away at the rapt groundlings with his blank verses, not less of a word-slinger and spellbinder than the Bard himself and therefore not to be considered too curiously on such matters as relevance, coherence, consistency, propriety, sanity, common decency.”
    —Marvin Mudrick (1921–1986)

    “It’s one of the tragic ironies of the theater that only one man in it can count on steady work—the night watchman.”
    —Tallulah Bankhead (1903–1968)
