Famous quotes containing the words performing and/or groups:

    “When performing an autopsy, even the most inveterate spiritualist would have to question where the soul is.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    “Trees appeared in groups and singly, revolving coolly and blandly, displaying the latest fashions. The blue dampness of a ravine. A memory of love, disguised as a meadow. Wispy clouds—the greyhounds of heaven.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
