Ascent Stage

Famous quotes containing the words ascent and/or stage:

“I lay awake awhile, watching the ascent of the sparks through the firs, and sometimes their descent in half-extinguished cinders on my blanket. They were as interesting as fireworks, going up in endless, successive crowds, each after an explosion, in an eager, serpentine course, some to five or six rods above the tree-tops before they went out.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The world is a stage, the stage is a world of entertainment.”
—Howard Dietz (1896–1983)
