Famous quotes containing the words fighting and/or style:
““Oh, the fighting races don’t die out,
If they seldom die in bed,
For love is first in their hearts, no doubt,””
—Joseph I. C. Clarke (1846–1925)
“The flattering, if arbitrary, label, First Lady of the Theatre, takes its toll. The demands are great, not only in energy but eventually in dramatic focus. It is difficult, if not impossible, for a star to occupy an inch of space without bursting seams, cramping everyone else’s style and unbalancing a play. No matter how self-effacing a famous player may be, he makes an entrance as a casual neighbor and the audience interest shifts to the house next door.”
—Helen Hayes (1900–1993)
