Summary

This quote encourages us to go beyond simply knowing and reciting the Golden Rule, which states that we should treat others as we would like to be treated. Instead, it urges us to embody and live by this principle in our everyday actions and interactions. It suggests that memorization is not enough; true change occurs when we apply this rule consistently and consciously in our behavior towards others. By committing the Golden Rule to life, we can foster compassion, empathy, and understanding, ultimately building a more harmonious and considerate society.

Each writer is born with a repertory company in his head. Shakespeare has perhaps twenty players, and Tennessee Williams has about five, and Samuel Beckett one - and maybe a clone of that one. I have ten or so, and that's a lot. As you get older, you become more skillful at casting them.
