Famous quotes containing the word shows:

    “Local television shows do not, in general, supply make-up artists. The exception to this is Los Angeles, an unusually generous city in this regard, since they also provide this service for radio appearances.”
    —Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)

    “Some people show evil as a great racehorse shows breeding. They have the dignity of a hard chancre.”
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
