“Work! labor the asparagus me of life; the one great sacrament of humanity from which all other things flow - security, leisure, joy, art, literature, even divinity itself.”

Sean O'Casey (March 30, 1880 – September 18, 1964) was a renowned Irish dramatist known for his realistic portrayals of Dublin's working-class life and social conflicts. Born into a poor Protestant family, he experienced hardship early and engaged in labor and trade union activism. His major works include Juno and the Paycock, The Plough and the Stars, and The Silver Tassie. O'Casey's plays blend tragedy and comedy, reflecting the struggles of Irish independence and human nature. He later moved to England and continued writing until his death, leaving a lasting impact on 20th-century theater. more

“I love child things because there's so much mystery when you're a child. When you're a child, something as simple as a tree doesn't make sense. You see it in the distance and it looks small, but as you go closer, it seems to grow - you haven't got a handle on the rules when you're a child. We think we understand the rules when we become adults but what we really experienced is a narrowing of the imagination.”

“Forget being the best of anything. That's the fruit of the action, and you do the work -they say- for the doing, not the fruit. You can never really know how it's gonna turn out in the world but you know if you enjoy doing it. And ideas start flowing and you start getting, you know, excited about stuff. Then you're having a great time in the doing and that's what it's all about. If you don't enjoy the doing, then do something else.”
