Famous quotes containing the words lullaby and/or broadway:
“The lullaby is the spell whereby the mother attempts to transform herself back from an ogre to a saint.”
—James Fenton (b. 1949)
“The name of the town isn’t important. It’s the one that’s just twenty-eight minutes from the big city. Twenty-three if you catch the morning express. It’s on a river and it’s got houses and stores and churches. And a main street. Nothing fancy like Broadway or Market, just plain Broadway. Drug, dry good, shoes. Those horrible little chain stores that breed like rabbits.”
—Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)
