We are where centuries only count as seconds, and after a thousand lives, our eyes begin to open.

Take some wood and canvas and nails and things. Build yourself a theater, a stage, light it, learn about it. When you've done that you will probably know how to write a play.

Writing is my vacation from living.

When you're 50 you start thinking about things you haven't thought about before. I used to think getting old was about vanity - but actually it's about losing people you love. Getting wrinkles is trivial.

I am so far from being a pessimist...on the contrary, in spite of my scars, I am tickled to death at life.

We fought so long against small things that we became small ourselves.

Dey's some things I don't got to be told. I kin read them in folks' eyes.
