And she is so full of peace that thought she pressed her flesh, her nerves, her bones, no other thing come forth from them than peace.

Imagine every day is Independence Day and save us from traveling the river changed; save us from hitchhiking the long road home. Imagine an escape.

Imagine a drum which wraps itself around your heart. Imagine a story that puts wood in the fireplace.

Steven MorrisseyFeminists do the best Photoshop because they leave the meat on your bones. They donโt change your size or your skin color.

Ilona AndrewsI am a collection of thoughts and memories and likes and dislikes. I am the things that have happened to me and the sum of everything I've ever done. I am the clothes I wear on my back.

Macaulay CulkinWhat Mr. Kaufman and his team are after is less a portrait of any one person than one of the ethos of a place. In the deliberate, simple staging ... in which eight radiantly clean-scrubbed performers embody 60 different people against a bare-bones set, 'Laramie' often brings to mind 'Our Town,' the beloved Thornton Wilder study of life, love and death in parochial New Hampshire.
