Famous quotes containing the words important and/or performances:
“The most important thing in my father’s life? World peace. Me and my brother. My mom.”
—Sean Taro Ono Lennon (b. 1975)
“At one of the later performances you asked why they called it a “miracle,”
Since nothing ever happened. That, of course, was the miracle
But you wanted to know why so much action took on so much life
And still managed to remain itself, aloof, smiling and courteous.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
