Theatre is a form of knowledge; it should and can also be a means of transforming society. Theatre can help us build our future, rather than just waiting for it.

We are all actors: being a citizen is not living in society, it is changing it.

The theater itself is not revolutionary: it is a rehearsal for the revolution.

The theater is a weapon, and it is the people who should wield it.

Empathy is the most powerful weapon [...]

Anyone can do theater, even actors. And theater can be done everywhere. Even in a theater.

Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.

I cannot see that art is anything less than a way of making joys perpetual.
