It's communication - that's what theatre is all about.

It is a time when one's spirit is subdued and sad, one knows not why; when the past seems a storm-swept desolation, life a vanity and a burden, and the future but a way to death.

Mark Twain

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent.

John Donne

You can really only enjoy life when you're extremely busy.

Orson Scott Card

Constant success shows us but one side of the world; adversity brings out the reverse of the picture.

Charles Caleb Colton

The principle feature of American liberalism is sanctimoniousness. By loudly denouncing all bad things -- war and hunger and date rape -- liberals testify to their own terrific goodness. More important, they promote themselves to membership in a self-selecting elite of those who care deeply about such things. It's a kind of natural aristocracy, and the wonderful thing about this aristocracy is that you don't have to be brave, smart, strong or even lucky to join it, you just have to be liberal.

P. J. O'Rourke

Oh, the ignorance of us upon whom Providence did not sufficiently smile to permit us to be born in New England.

Horace Porter

We cannot fashion our children after our desires, we must have them and love them as God has given them to us.

Johann von Goethe

Where there are two Phd's in a developing country, one is head of state and the other is in exile.

Lord Samuel

No one disputes that seeming order can out of the application of simple rules. But who wrote the rules?

Robert J. Sawyer

The evil that men do lives after them;The good is oft interred with their bones.

William Shakespeare

Indifference creates an artificial peace.
