Famous quotes containing the words stage and/or appearances:

    “Harvey: Oh, you kids these days, I’m telling you. You think the only relationship a man and a woman can have is a romantic one.
    Gil: That sure is what we think. You got something better?
    Harvey: Oh, romance is very nice. A good thing for youngsters like you, but Helene and I have found something we think is more appropriate to our stage of life—companionship.
    Gil: Companionship? I’ve got a flea-bitten old hound at home who’ll give me that.”
    —Tom Waldman (d. 1985)

    “The appearances of goodness and merit often meet with a greater reward from the world than goodness and merit themselves.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
