“Sometimes the least pleasure you get in the theater is from a play. More than once I saw an audience that was more interesting than the actors, and heard dialogue in the foyer that was superior to what I heard from the stage.”
“The true playwright shows us life through the means of art, and not art in the form of life.”
“— I congratulate you on the great success of the performance; this convinced me that you had almost as high an opinion of my play as I did myself.”
