And I think they were right to do so, not because I do not love The Little Prince , but because the book is so full of tenderness that it would harm any dictatorship.”
“Sexual dreams aren't usually about sex.”
“Like a glimpse of eternity instantly forgotten. She is gone.”

“We're one of the last handmade art forms. There's no fast way to make plays. It takes just as long and is just as hard as it was a thousand years ago.”
