Famous quotes containing the words stage and/or book:
“The spectacle of misery grew in its crushing volume. There seemed to be no end to the houses full of hunted starved children. Children with dysentery, children with scurvy, children at every stage of starvation.... We learned to know that the barometer of starvation was the number of children deserted in any community.”
—Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)
“The bottle is drunk out by one;
At two, the book is shut;
At three, the lovers lie apart,
Love and its commerce done....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
