Each writer is born with a repertory company in his head. Shakespeare has perhaps 20 players, and Tennessee Williams has about 5, ...and Samuel Beckett one--and maybe a clone of that one. I have 10 or so, and that's a lot. As you get older, you become more skillful at casting them.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

We're headed for collapse, if you want my opinion, Missy. I can see it in the fallin' off of the quality of vagrants. There was a ...time you could find real good company in almost any jungle you'd pick, men who could talk, men who'd read a book now and then; and now, what do you find, a lot of dirty little guttersnipes no decent tramp would want to associate with. Well, it's been that way all through history.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

The tender Page with horney Fists was gual'd; And he was gifted most that loudest baul'd: The Spirit gave the Doctoral Degree: And every member of a Company Was of his Trade, and of the Bible free.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Every single day, sexism plays a part in my life. ...Not from my company, from people outside the company: people who want to send... a tape, lawyers or managers. ...Because I'm a girl, they don't think I'm powerful enough to be in a position of authority.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself a...gainst me; then I would have hid myself from him: But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
