"A third variety of drama ... begins..." - Quote by George Bernard Shaw

“You are all alike, you respectable people. You can't tell me the bursting strain of a ten-inch gun, which is a very simple matter;but you all think you can tell me the bursting strain of a man under temptation. You daren't handle high explosives; but you're all ready to handle honesty and truth and justice and the whole duty of man, and kill one another at that game. What a country! What a world!”

“We are all dependent on one another, every soul of us on earth.”

“When the military man approaches, the world locks up its spoons and packs off its womankind.”

“Drama usually has some sort of intense conflict.”

“I like a drama. And I think that's the basis of good films, or good plays, is to have a nice drama.”

“Dramatic fiction - William Shakespeare made his biggest mark writing dramatic love stories.”

“When I'm writing, I am trying to find out who I am, who we are, what we're capable of, how we feel, how we lose and stand up, and go on from darkness into darkness.”

“I don't like realism. We already know the real facts about li[fe], most of the basic facts. I'm not interested in repeating what we already know. We know about sex, about violence, about murder, about war. All these things, by the time we're 18, we're up to here. From there on we need interpreters. We need poets. We need philosophers. We need theologians, who take the same basic facts and work with them and help us make do with those facts. Facts alone are not enough. It's interpretation.”

“In art, anything goes, and if it goes, it goes.”
