The truth has got to appear plausible on the stage

I'm not interested in an imaginary world

I think there is no world without theatre.

Violence is hidden within democratic structures because they are not radically democratic - Western democracy is merely a domestic convenience of consumerism.

Auschwitz is a place in which tragedy cannot occur.

You have to use your mind n the NFL. Every player is smarter. Defensive backs bluff and disguise coverages to try to fool you.

I'm a woman and I'm a backbone...everybody needs one.

The press and the public like certainty and affirmation of popular biases. But real science thrives on the capacity for doubt.
