Famous quotes containing the words live and/or performances:
“Treat your wife badly and you’ll live a life of poverty.”
—Chinese proverb.
“At one of the later performances you asked why they called it a “miracle,”
Since nothing ever happened. That, of course, was the miracle
But you wanted to know why so much action took on so much life
And still managed to remain itself, aloof, smiling and courteous.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
