More quotes by David Hare
Via Dolorosa is the only thing I have ever acted in my life, professionally, and Ill never act again.
David Hare
Writers always sound insufferably smug when they sit back and assert that their job is only to ask questions and not to answer them. But, in good part, it is true. And once you become committed to one particular answer, your freedom to ask new questions is seriously impaired.
David Hare
Weak minds sink under prosperity as well as adversity but strong and deep ones have two high tides.
David Hare
No one but a fool is always right.
David Hare
If you kill a character people feel sad. That's too easy.
David Hare

David Hare
In oratory the will must predominate.
David Hare
Purity is the feminine, truth the masculine of honor.
David Hare
Smiles are the language of love.

David Hare
An inability to handle language is not the same thing as stupidity.
David Hare

David Hare
Poetry is the key to the hieroglyphics of nature.
David Hare
As you write plays, you discover what you believe. And until you know what you believe, you can't write a play.
David Hare
My father always said 'There's no free lunch.' My father was right. There's no free lunch and there's no free market. The market is rigged, the market is always rigged, and the rigging is in favour of the people who run the market. That's what the market is. It's a bent casino. The house always wins.
David Hare
The most important playwright's gift is to hit your time and speak to your time.
David Hare
The future of American film lies on television.
David Hare
I think the novel is the American form because people read it in private, and the only valuable things that happen in America happen in private life, because public life is a dead loss.
