My great day came and went, I do not know how. Because it did not pass through dawn when it came, nor through dusk when it went. – Antonio Porchia, Voces, 1943, translated from Spanish by W.S. Merwin
All the best performers bring to their role something more, something different than what the author put on paper. Thats what makes theatre live. Thats why it persists. – Stephen Sondheim
