La fondation du Théâtre National Populaire ajouta une dimension au théâtre français d'après-guerre, celle de la jeunesse - celle peut-être aussi, de l'enthousiasme.

For nearly a billion years, every known sentient species in the universe has been the result of genetic and cultural guidance - or "uplifting" - by a previously uplifted patron race.

When Streaker - the first starship designed and crewed by dolphins - discovers a derelict ancient armada with evidence of the first sentient species ever, she sets off a war between dozens of galactic races eager to use the information for their own advancement.

Maybe ninety percent of the population of Dade County, Florida, have emerged unscathed from the devastating hurricane. It's the other ten percent that are causing the trouble.

"Le Carrosse du Saint-Sacrement" est une des œuvres les moins connues de Mérimée. Ce n'est point là un drame tragique et sanglant rappelant "Carmen". Mais la note espagnole où excelle Mérimée y sera. Vraiment, vous entendrez là un chef-d'œuvre littéraire où l'adresse scénique égale la fantaisie. Le personnage principal - un Vice-Roi du Pérou - est dessiné avec une ponctualité et un relief étonnants. On retrouvera là, sous un aspect nouveau, l'éternel duel entre l'homme et la femme qui est celui d'Alceste et Célimène, Boubouroche et Adèle... (J. Copeau, Comoedia, 3-3-1920).
