Share on Google+

"A novel is a static thing that one moves through; a play is a dynamic thing that moves past one."

"Not content to have the audience in the palm of his hand, he goes one further and clinches his fist."

"The sheer complexity of writing a play always had dazzled me. In an effort to understand it, I became a critic.

"Art is a private thing, the artist makes it for himself; a comprehensible work is the product of a journalist. We need works that are strong, straight, precise, and forever beyond understanding." - Kenneth Tynan
