Famous quotes containing the words ten and/or pieces:

    Were not ten made clean? But the other nine, where are they? Was none of them found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 17:17,18.

    Jesus, after healing ten lepers.

    To save the theatre, the theatre must be destroyed, the actors and actresses must all die of the plague. They poison the air, they make art impossible. It is not drama that they play, but pieces for the theatre. We should return to the Greeks, play in the open air; the drama dies of stalls and boxes and evening dress, and people who come to digest their dinner.
    Eleonora Duse (1859–1924)
