People cannot remain good unless good is expected of them.

Terrible is the temptation to be good.

The fanatics for progress often have too little appreciation of the existing.

When the leaders speak of peace, the common folk know war is coming.

It is not enough to demand insight and informative images of reality from the theater. Our theater must stimulate a desire for understanding, a delight in changing reality.

The first time it was reported that our friends were being butchered there was a cry of horror. Then a hundred were butchered. But when a thousand were butchered and there was no end to the butchery, a blanket of silence spread. When evil-doing comes like falling rain, nobody calls out "stop!" When crimes begin to pile up they become invisible. When sufferings become unendurable the cries are no longer heard. The cries, too, fall like rain in summer.

There are times when you have to choose between being human and having good taste.
