“My point is, that if society hasn't the right to take another person's life, then the law hasn't either. I mean, considering that the law is a mass of regulations that have been handled down and that nobody can interfere with, no human being can touch. But it's human beings the law deals with, after all.”

“Just as the hero of a play... - be it Oedipus or Hamlet or Arturo Ui - was often an archetype, standing for individual consciousness of every human being, so the double act could be seen as the simplest representation of an entire society... Look at Vladimir and Estragon, ... look at Laurel and Hardy; even look at Morecambe and Wise - and you see a pared-down image of a more-or-less functioning society. Human beings doing their best to get along together; unable to hide their impatience, sometimes, with the recalcitrant behaviour of their fellow earth-dwellers, but each unable to do without the other.”
