The true theater, because it moves and makes use of living instruments, continues to stir up shadows where life has never ceased to grope its way.

No one has ever written, painted, sculpted, modeled, built, or invented except literally to get out of hell.

And if there is still one hellish, truly accursed thing in our time, it is our artistic dallying with forms, instead of being like victims burnt at the stake, signaling through the flames.

Actors are athletes of the heart.

By suicide I introduce my design in nature, I shall for the first time give things the shape of my will ... now I choose the direction of my thought and the direction of my faculties, my tendencies, my reality.

I myself am an absolute abyss.

Don't tire yourself more than need be, even at the price of founding a culture on the fatigue of your bones.
