The purpose of literature is to turn blood into ink.

We know too much, and are convinced of too little. Our literature is a substitute for religion, and so is our religion.

Our high respect for a well read person is praise enough for literature.

Playwriting gets into your blood and you can't stop it. At least not until the producers or the public tell you to.

Only by acceptance of the past, can you alter it.

If you haven’t the strength to impose your own terms upon life, then you must accept the terms it offers you.
