Famous quotes containing the words theatre and/or club:
“The poem of the mind in the act of finding
What will suffice. It has not always had
To find: the scene was set; it repeated what
Was in the script.
Then the theatre was changed
To something else. Its past was a souvenir.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Women ... are completely alone, though they were born and bred upon this soil, as if they belonged to another class in creation.”
