Quotes

“I have made more friends for American culture than the State Department. Certainly I have made fewer enemies, but that isn't very difficult.”
“I know that my works are a credit to this nation and I dare say they will endure longer than the McCarran Act.”
“The structure of a play is always the story of how the birds came home to roost.”
“The closer a man approaches tragedy the more intense is his concentration of emotion upon the fixed point of his commitment, which is to say the closer he approaches what in life we call fanaticism.”
“By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
“A play is made by sensing how the forces in life simulate ignorance — you set free the concealed irony, the deadly joke.”
