I'm not interested in an imaginary world

I think there is no world without theatre.

We are still living in the aftershock of Hiroshima, people are still the scars of history.

I write about violence as naturally as Jane Austen wrote about manners. Violence shapes and obsesses our society, and if we do not stop being violent we have no future.

Auschwitz is a place in which tragedy cannot occur.

The Greeks said very, very extreme things in their tragedies.

We may seem competent, but by the end of next century there will be new deserts, new ruins.

Our lives are awkward and fragile and we have only one thing to keep us sane: pity, and the man without pity is mad.

It looks like they've been watching old Japan tapes!

There is something about the state putting the power to bully into the hands of subnormal, sadistic apes that makes my blood boil.

If popular medicine gave the people wisdom as well as knowledge, it would be the best protection for scientific and well-trained physicians.

Skepticism doesn't help you hear.
