Famous quotes containing the words dinner and/or show:
“Poverty is an anomaly to rich people. It is very difficult to make out why people who want dinner do not ring the bell.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
“I think “taste” is a social concept and not an artistic one. I’m willing to show good taste, if I can, in somebody else’s living room, but our reading life is too short for a writer to be in any way polite. Since his words enter into another’s brain in silence and intimacy, he should be as honest and explicit as we are with ourselves.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
