By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man.

The genius of Man in our time has gone into jet-propulsion, atom-splitting, penicillin-curing, etc. There is none over for works of imagination; of spiritual insight or mystical enlightenment. I asked for bread and was given a tranquilizer.

Malcolm Muggeridge

God pity me now and all desolate sinners Demented with beauty!

Patrick MacDonogh

Vincent D'Onofrio

It is because Humanity has never known where it was going that it has been able to find its way.

Jenny Holzer

Good painters imitate nature, bad ones spew it up.

Miguel de Cervantes

Movements born in hatred very quickly take on the characteristics of the thing they oppose.

J. S. Habgood

The best thinking has been done in solitude. The worst has been done in turmoil.

Thomas A. Edison

He who possesses art and science has religion he who does not possess them, needs religion.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
