Intermission/plays

Famous quotes containing the words intermission and/or plays:

“What, really, is wanted from a neighborhood? Convenience, certainly, an absence of major aggravation, to be sure. But perhaps most of all, ideally, what is wanted is a comfortable background, a breathing space of intermission between the intensities of private life and the calculations of public life.”
—Joseph Epstein (b. 1937)

“A great social success is a pretty girl who plays her cards as carefully as if she were plain.”
