If I commit suicide, it will not be to destroy myself but to put myself back together again.

Actors are athletes of the heart.

When we speak the word 'life,' it must be understood we are not referring to life as we know it from its surface of fact, but to that fragile, fluctuating center which forms never reach.

We have the right to lie, but not about the heart of the matter.

We must wash literature off ourselves. We want to be men above all, to be human.

Before our eyes is fought a battle of symbols... for there can be theatre only from the moment when the impossible really begins and when the poetry that occurs on the stage sustains and superheats the realized symbols.
