Famous quotes containing the word patrons:

    The Stage but echoes back the publick Voice.
    The Drama’s Laws the Drama’s Patrons give,
    For we that live to please, must please to live.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    O dark dark dark. They all go into the dark,
    The vacant interstellar spaces, the vacant into the vacant,
    The captains, merchant bankers, eminent men of letters,
    The generous patrons of art, the statesmen and the rulers,
    Distinguished civil servants, chairmen of many committees,
    Industrial lords and petty contractors, all go into the dark....
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    The drama’s laws, the drama’s patrons give,
    For we that live to please, must please to live.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
