saw so many (Sandi, Kabat, Nicole) post quotes on FB. thought we could collect them ?

 

"But if there is a sense of reality, and no one will doubt that it has its justification for existing, then there must also be something we can call a sense of possibility."

-Robert Musil

 

"I've learned to let go of attachment to things I can't control.Just park them to the side and focus on what's in front of me. The concept of that is very freeing."

-Gillian Anderson

 

"My conception of the audience is of a public each member of which is carrying about with him what he thinks is an anxiety, or a hope, or a preoccupation which is his alone and isolates him from mankind;
and in this respect at least the function of a play is to reveal him to himself so that he may touch others by virtue of the revelation of his mutuality with them.
If only for this reason I regard the theater as a serious business, one that makes or should make man more human, which is to say, less alone."

-Arthur Miller

 

"It is not enough to demand insight and informative images of reality from the theater. Our theater must stimulate a desire for understanding, a delight in changing reality.
Our audience must experience not only the ways to free Prometheus, but be schooled in the very desire to free him. Theater must teach all the pleasures and joys of discovery, all the feelings of triumph associated with liberation." 

-Brecht

"Every time I decide to share about anything in my life it seems too vague that there's no point really or if I get specific then I feel like a twat because I feel like I have so much and how dare I share about my fortunate existence and then I think, well then share something profound but I don’t have anything profound to say or any words of wisdom or any recipes or hints on how to set a table." - Gillian Anderson

"I hope you are all, every one of you, happy and doing what you want to be doing in your life. Really." - Gillian Anderson

"When I think of normal, I think of mediocrity… and mediocrity scares the fuck out of me." - Gillian Anderson
