Truth Is Not Merely What

Modern Man Must Descend The Spiral Of His Own Absurdity To The Lowest Point; Only Then Can He Look Beyond It. It Is Obviously Impossible To Get Around It, Jump Over It, Or Simply Avoid It.

Life Cannot Be Destroyed For Good, Neithercan History Be Brought Entirely To A Halt. A Secret Streamlet Trickles On Beneath The Heavy Lid Of Inertia And Pseudo-events, Slowly And Inconspicuously Undercutting It. It May Be A Long Process, But One Day It Must Happen: The Lid Will No Longer Hold And Will Start To Crack. This Is The Moment When Something Once More Begins Visibly To Happen, Something Truly New And Uniquesomething Truly Historical, In The Sense That History Again Demands To Be Heard.

Hope Is Not A Feeling. It Is Not The Belief That Things Will Turn Out Well, But The Conviction That What You Are Doing Makes Sense, No Matter How Things Turn Out.

It Is Not Enough To Stare Up The Steps, We Must Step Up The Stairs.

Speaking About Myself, I've Been Pleasantly Surprised That My Older Plays Are Still Being Performed. Most Important Is That They Still Have Something To Say To Today's Audience, In Particular The Young People Who Enjoy My Plays. That's The Best I Could Hope For, That The Plays Aren't Single-use Products Of One Era.
