Famous quotes containing the word famous:

    ““Why visit the playhouse to see the famous Parisian models, ... when one can see the French damsels, Norma and Diana? Their names have been known on both continents, because everything goes as it will, and those that cannot be satisfied with these must surely be of a queer nature.””
    —For the City of New Orleans, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
