“Let him [the President] once win the admiration and confidence of the country, and no other single force can withstand him, no combination of forces will easily overpower him....

—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“To save the theatre, the theatre must be destroyed, the actors and actresses must all die of the plague. They poison the air, they make art impossible. It is not drama that they play, but pieces for the theatre. We should return to the Greeks, play in the open air; the drama dies of stalls and boxes and evening dress, and people who come to digest their dinner.”
—Eleonora Duse (1859–1924)

—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)

“I haven’t seen so much tippy-toeing around since the last time I went to the ballet.

—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
