It is not hard to understand modern art. If it hangs on a wall it's a painting, and if you can walk around it it's a sculpture.
Tom Stoppard
Image
When I think of how things could have turned out, I feel as if I've dodged, not just bullets, but 6mm shells.

I write plays because dialogue is the most respectable way of contradicting myself.

The results of the divorce between truth and human beings can be most graphically observed in politics.
