Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or broadway:

    “a notable prince that was called King John;
    And he ruled England with main and with might,
    For he did great wrong, and maintained little right.”
    —Unknown. King John and the Abbot of Canterbury (l. 2–4)

    “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)
