I have often been asked how my plays come about. I cannot say. Nor can I ever explain to myself what they mean.

I like the stars. It's the illusion of permanence, I think. I mean, they're always flaring up and caving in and going out. But from here, I can pretend...I can pretend that things last. I can pretend that lives last longer than moments. Gods come, and gods go. Mortals flicker and flash and fade. Worlds don't last; and stars and galaxies are transient, fleeting things that twinkle like fireflies and vanish into cold and dust. But I can pretend.

The artist must create a spark before he can make a fire and before art is born, the artist must be ready to be consumed by the fire of his own creation.

我相信，坦诚的公司的管理层会使投资人受益。那些在公开场所误导别人的CEO最终会在私下里误导自己。

"We are all fools in love."

出自汉·桓宽《盐铁论·刺议》。专己，指刚愎自用。拒绝忠言直谏的人就会闭塞，一意孤释义：行的人就会孤立。治国安邦的人要认真听取别人的意见，不能拒纳谏言、一意孤行。
