I’m a poet. And then I put the poetry in the drama. I put it in short stories, and I put it in the plays. Poetry’s poetry. It doesn’t have to be called a poem, you know.

Morning can always be counted on to bring us back to a more realistic level.

Oh you weak, beautiful people who give up with such grace. What you need is someone to take hold of you

I don't ask for your pity, but just your understanding - no, not even that -no. Just for your recognition of me in you, and the enemy, time, in us all.

I can't expose a human weakness on the stage unless I know it through having it myself.

Something in me will save me from utter ruin no matter what comes.

The violets in the mountains have broken the rocks.
