Famous quotes containing the words world, record and/or performances:

    “The body and the soul know how to play
    In that dark world where gods have lost their way.”
    —Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

    “This play holds the season’s record [for early closing], thus far, with a run of four evening performances and one matinee. By an odd coincidence it ran just five performances too many.”
    —Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)

    “This play holds the season’s record [for early closing], thus far, with a run of four evening performances and one matinee. By an odd coincidence it ran just five performances too many.”
