Famous quotes containing the words live and/or performances:
“Oh, if I could but live another century and see the fruition of all the work for women! There is so much yet to be done.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“At one of the later performances you asked why they called it a “miracle,”
Since nothing ever happened. That, of course, was the miracle
But you wanted to know why so much action took on so much life
And still managed to remain itself, aloof, smiling and courteous.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
