crucible intellectual pursuit
HALE, with a tasty love of intellectual pursuit
men orange fruit
You can't eat the orange and throw the peel away - a man is not a piece of fruit.
writing play trying
Well, all the plays that I was trying to write were plays that would grab an audience by the throat and not release them, rather than presenting an emotion which you could observe and walk away from.
new-york lines may
I'm the end of the line; absurd and appalling as it may seem, serious New York theater has died in my lifetime.
failure character attention
He's not the finest character that ever lived. But he's a human being, and a terrible thing is happening to him. So attention must be paid.
writing i-can ifs
If I see an ending, I can work backward.
life commitment tragedy
The closer a man approaches tragedy the more intense is his concentration of emotion upon the fixed point of his commitment, which is to say the closer he approaches what in life we call fanaticism.
dream doors blood
The success of a play, especially one's first success, is somewhat like pushing against a door which is suddenly opened that was always securely shut until then. For myself, the experience was invigorating. It suddenly seemed that the audience was a mass of blood relations, and I sensed a warmth in the world that had not been there before. It made it possible to dream of daring more and risking more.

A play's an interpretation. It is not a report. And that is the beginning of its poetry because, in order to interpret, you have to distort toward a symbolic construction of what happened, and as that distortion takes place, you begin to leave out and overemphasize and consequently deliver up life as a unity rather than as a chaos, and any such attempt, the more intense it is, the more poetic it becomes.

frustration thinking class
There is a kind of perverse unity forming among us, born, I think, of the discontent of all classes of people with the endless frustration of life.
artist temptation trying
Try to keep the rebel artist alive in you, no matter how attractive or exhausting the temptation.
good-woman knows
I am a good woman. I know it.
men enemy tragedy
Tragedy enlightens - and it must, in that it points the heroic finger at the enemy of man's freedom. The thrust for freedom is the quality in tragedy which exalts. The revolutionary questioning of the stable environment is what terrifies.
