Intermission/plays

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)

    Better to be despised and have a servant, than to be self-important and lack food.
    Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 12:9.

    RSV translation reads, “Better is a man of humble standing who works for himself than one who plays the great man but lacks bread.”
