“I can't give you a simple answer to that tricky question, but I can tell you this: The fact that we don't is one of the many reasons why I've come to feel that the Windy City is blowing the Big Apple out of its once-secure spot at the top of America's theatrical tree. ”
— Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal
“History: gossip well told.” — Elbert Hubbard
“People tend to forget that the word 'history' contains the word 'story.'” — Ken Burns
“Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it.” — Edmund Burke
