Famous quotes containing the words battles and, battles, western and/or theater:

    “To compose our character is our duty, not to compose books, and to win, not battles and provinces, but order and tranquillity in our conduct.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “We are the only class in history that has been left to fight its battles alone, unaided by the ruling powers. White labor and the freed black men had their champions, but where are ours?”
    —Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

    “Westron wind, when will thou blow?
    The small rain down can rain.
    Christ, that my love were in my arms,
    And I in my bed again.”
    —Unknown. Western Wind (l. 1–4)

    “The Miss America contest is ... the most perfectly rendered theater in our culture, for it so perfectly captures what we yearn for: a low-class ritual, a polished restatement of vulgarity, that wants to open the door to high-class respectability by way of plain middle-class anxiety and ambition.”
    —Gerald Early (b. 1952)
