Famous quotes containing the word broadway:

    “We all know that the theater and every play that comes to Broadway have within themselves, like the human being, the seed of self-destruction and the certainty of death. The thing is to see how long the theater, the play, and the human being can last in spite of themselves.”
    —James Thurber (1894–1961)
