ジョージ・ジーン・ネーサン
「One does not go to the theater to see life and nature; one goes to see the particular way in which life and nature happen to look to a cultivated, imaginative and entertaining man who happens, in turn, to be a playwright」や「Great art is as irrational as great music. It is mad with its own loveliness」、「Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote」(誤った為政者は、投票に行かない善良な市民によって選出される)、「Opera in English is, in the main, just about as sensible a plea as baseball in Italian」など、数々の名言が遺されている。
