Albert Einstein
“Three great forces rule the world: stupidity, fear and greed.”
Albert Einstein

Iris Murdoch
“The theatre is a tragic place, full of endings and partings and heartbreak. You dedicate yourself passionately to something, to a project, to people, to a family, you think of nothing else for weeks and months, then suddenly it's over, it's perpetual destruction, perpetual divorce, perpetual adieu. It's like éternel retour, it's a koan. It's like falling in love and being smashed over and over again.’
'You do, then, fall in love.’
'Only with fictions, I love players, but actors are so ephemeral. And then there’s waiting for the perfect part, and being offered it the day after you've committed yourself to something utterly rotten. The remorse, and the envy and the jealousy. An old actor told me if I wanted to stay in the trade I had better kill off envy and jealousy at the start.”
Iris Murdoch, The Green Knight

William Shakespeare
“One may smile, and smile, and be a villain; at least I'm sure it may be so in Denmark.”
William Shakespeare, Hamlet

Margaret Mitchell
“With enough courage, you can do without a reputation.”
Margaret Mitchell

A.A. Milne
“Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind.
"Pooh!" he whispered.
"Yes, Piglet?"
"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw. "I just wanted to be sure of you.”
A.A. Milne, The House at Pooh Corner
