Famous quotes containing the words wings, display and/or manager:
“In the wings the tenor hungers
For the heroine’s convulsive kiss, and Faust
Moves forward, no longer young, reappearing
And reappearing for the last time. The opera
Faust would no longer need its phantom.
On the bare, sunlit stage the hungers could begin.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“I mistrust the satisfaction which makes a display of the possession of Infinity; that is called fatuity in philosophic terms.”
—Edgar Quinet (1803–1875)
“Nothing could his enemies do but it rebounded to his infinite advantage,—that is, to the advantage of his cause.... No theatrical manager could have arranged things so wisely to give effect to his behavior and words. And who, think you, was the manager? Who placed the slave-woman and her child, whom he stooped to kiss for a symbol, between his prison and the gallows?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
