Famous quotes containing the words stage and/or productions:

    “There are people who are so presumptuous that they know no other way to praise a greatness that they publicly admire than by representing it as a preliminary stage and bridge leading to themselves.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “If you think it will only add one sprig to the wreath the country twines to bind the brows of my hero, I will run the risk of being sneered at by those who criticize female productions of all kinds. ...Though a female, I was born a patriot.”
    —Annie Boudinot Stockton (1736–1801)
