Comedy is an escape, not from truth but from despair; a narrow escape into faith.

How can a man learn navigation Where there's no rudder?

One day I shall burst my bud of calm and blossom into hysteria.

Life itself is the real and most miraculous miracle of all. If one had never before seen a human hand and were suddenly presented for the first time with this strange and wonderful thing, what a miracle, what a magnificently shocking and inexplicable and mysterious thing it would be.

In my plays I want to look at life at the commonplace of existence as if we had just turned a corner and run into it for the first time.

Comedy is an escape, not from truth but from despair; a narrow escape into faith.

The dark is light enough.
