"I am so used to seeing the sort of play which deals with one man and two women. They do not leave me with the feeling I have made a full theatrical meal they do not give me the experience of the multiplicity of life." "The sort of poetry I seek resides in objects man can’t touch." More In Faith "That someone like Obama could be elected president of the United States – with its unrivaled power and prestige – has begun to restore the country’s and the world’s faith in America as the land of opportunity."― Dee Dee Myers "Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself."― Khalil Gibran "Now, God be praised, that to believing souls gives light in darkness, comfort in despair."― William Shakespeare
