Land Was Created To Provide A Place

It Seems To Me That The Thing That Makes The Theater Worthwhile Is The Fact That It Attracts So Many People With Ideas Who Are Constantly Trying To Share Them With The Public. Real Art Is Illumination. It Gives A Man An Idea He Never Had Before Or Lights Up Ideas That Were Formless Or Only Lurking In The Shadows Of His Mind. It Adds Stature To Life.

Walking Companions, Like Heroes, Are Difficult To Pluck Out Of The Crowd Of Acquaintances. Good Dispositions, Ready Wit, Friendly Conversation Serve Well Enough By The Fireside But They Prove Insufficient In The Field. For There You Need Transcendentalists-nothing Less; You Need Poets, Sages, Humorists And Natural Philosophers.

Poetry Is As Vital To Thinking As Knowledge.

Although The Theater Is Not Life, It Is Composed Of Fragments Or Imitations Of Life, And People On Both Sides Of The Footlight Have To Unite To Make The Fragments Whole And The Imitations Genuine.

Writing Is Not An End In Itself But Life Transmuted Into Radiance.
