Famous quotes containing the words pretty and/or boy:
“I can’t really hear the audience applause when I’m on stage. I’m totally immersed in the piece. But sometimes I get a lot of it and wonder, “Now, why did they applaud here?” If it’s a white crowd, they usually applaud because they think it’s a pretty movement. If it’s a black crowd, it’s usually because they identify with the message.”
—Judith Jamison (b. 1944)
“What is the boy now, who has lost his ball,
What, what is he to do?”
—John Berryman (1914–1972)
