Famous quotes containing the words broadway, show and/or history:

    The name of the town isn’t important. It’s the one that’s just twenty-eight minutes from the big city. Twenty-three if you catch the morning express. It’s on a river and it’s got houses and stores and churches. And a main street. Nothing fancy like Broadway or Market, just plain Broadway. Drug, dry good, shoes. Those horrible little chain stores that breed like rabbits.
    Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)

    I will show you fear in a handful of dust.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    The history of the Victorian Age will never be written: we know too much about it.
    Lytton Strachey (1880–1932)
