"Learn to love, not yourself in the Art, but the Art in yourself." -- Stanislavsky
"But we're not like that, are we? We're not the ones people hurt. We are the creative people. We have art to protect us, even if our greatest creation gets to be ourselves." -- As Bees in Honey Drown
"You are confusing two concepts: the solution of a problem and the correct posing of a question. Only the second is obligatory for an artist. Not a single problem is solved in Anna Karenina or Eugene Onegin, but you find these works quite satisfactory … because all the questions in them are correctly posed. … The court is obliged to pose the questions correctly, but it’s up to the jurors to answer them, each juror according to his own taste." -- Anton Chekhov
"Good plays drive bad playgoers crazy." -- Brooks Atkinson
"It's the wanting to know that makes us matter." -- Arcadia
