Famous quotes containing the words full and/or title:
“Stupid word, that. Period. In America it means full stop like in punctuation. Thats stupid as well. A period isnt a full stop. Its a new beginning. I dont mean all that creativity, life-giving force, earth-mother stuff, I mean its a new beginning to the month, relief that youre not pregnant, when you dont have to have a child.”
—Michelene Wandor (b. 1940)
“Greatness is a light-hearted title for theatrical entertainments. Or a definition endowed on men too long dead to know that its been awarded.”
—Arthur Ross. Leslie (Tony Curtis)
