Famous quotes containing the words intermission and/or plays:

“What, really, is wanted from a neighborhood? Convenience, certainly, an absence of major aggravation, to be sure. But perhaps most of all, ideally, what is wanted is a comfortable background, a breathing space of intermission between the intensities of private life and the calculations of public life.”
—Joseph Epstein (b. 1937)

“We are all patchwork, and so shapeless and diverse in composition that each bit, each moment, plays its own game.”
