“Ibsen is like this room where we are sitting, with all the tables and chairs. Do I care whether you have twenty or twenty-five links on your chain? Hedda Gabler, Nora and the rest: it is not that I want! I want Rome and the Coliseum, the Acropolis, Athens; I want beauty, and the flame of life.” —Eleonora Duse (1859–1924)
“I’ve gradually risen from lower-class background to lower-class foreground.” —Marvin Cohen, U.S. author and humorist. Baseball the Beautiful, Links Books (1970)
“Nothing is more indispensable to true religiosity than a mediator that links us with divinity.” —Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)
