Custom, that is before all law; Nature, that is above all art.

The stars that have most glory have no rest.

Beauty, sweet love, is like the morning dew, Whose short refresh upon tender green, Cheers for a time, but till the sun doth show And straight is gone, as it had never been.

Pow'r above pow'rs! O heavenly eloquence! That with the strong rein of commanding words, Dost manage, guide, and master th' eminence Of men's affections, more than all their swords!

Love is a sickness full of woes, All remedies refusing; A plant that with most cutting grows, Most barren with best using.

Striving to tell his woes, words would not come; For light cares speak, when mighty griefs are dumb.

We seek fulfillment in our lives through heart connection with others. This is our soul's essence of joy, which spontaneously pulses through us, longing to share itself with another.

The sheer complexity of writing a play always had dazzled me. In an effort to understand it, I became a critic.

I think what I bring to the table overall is a sense of my own individuality, especially in the urban-male spectrum of what is here and now.

Stay loyal to your creativity because it's a gift.

Each man the architect of his own fate.
