Sarah Bernhardt(1844-1923)
On one occasion the actress Madge Kendall, congratulating the ‘divine Sarah’ on her performance, added that it was a pity her plays dealt with passion that she could not take her daughters to them. Sarah retorted thus,”Ah madame, you should remember that were it not for passion you would have no daughters to bring.”
