    —Günther Grass (b. 1927)

    “The theater needs continual reminders that there is nothing more debasing than the work of those who do well what is not worth doing at all.”
    —Gore Vidal (b. 1925)

    “Men are allowed to have passion and commitment for their work ... a woman is allowed that feeling for a man, but not her work.”
