Famous quotes containing the words performances, events and/or howard:
“At one of the later performances you asked why they called it a “miracle,”
Since nothing ever happened. That, of course, was the miracle
But you wanted to know why so much action took on so much life
And still managed to remain itself, aloof, smiling and courteous.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“The phenomenon of nature is more splendid than the daily events of nature, certainly, so then the twentieth century is splendid.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“Doctor, I want you to make it known to your government that it can trust us implicitly, for we do not want any of your territory. We only want your trade.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
