Personal Quote:

I believe with Goethe that dramatic poetry is man's greatest achievement on earth so far, and I believe with the early Bernard Shaw that the theatre is essentially a cathedral of the spirit, devoted to the exhaltation of men, and boasting an apostolic succession of inspired high poets which extends further into the past than the Christian line of St. Peter.
