“Life, individual or collective, personal or historic, is the one entity in the universe whose substance is compact of danger, of adventure. It is, in the strict sense of the word, drama. The primary, radical meaning of life appears when it is employed in the sense not of biology, but of biography. For the very strong reason that the whole of biology is quite definitely only a chapter in certain biographies, it is what biologists do in the portion of their lives open to biography.” ReasonWholeCertainUniverseIndividualStrongDangerAdventureDramaRadicalPrimariesSubstanceMeaning Of LifeCollectivesBiologyVery StrongPortionsChaptersEntityStrictBiographiesEmployedHistoricBiologistCompact Author:Jose Ortega y Gasset
“With most people, not describable as artists, all the finer part of their vitality goes into sex. They become third-rate poets during their courtship. All their instincts of drama come out freshly with their wives. The artist is he in whom this emotionality normally absorbed by sex is so strong that it claims a newer and more exclusive field of deployment. Its first creation is the Artist himself, a new sort of person; the creative man.” PeopleMenFirstsPersonsArtistStrongSexCreativeWifeCreationFieldsPoetDramaThirdsClaimsInstinctRateVitalityExclusiveCourtshipDeployment Author:Wyndham Lewis

“It is a very strong rule in drama, and in life, that people remain true to their basic natures.

“The market literature, which was particularly strong in Igboland, in Onitsha, today it is no longer strong. It is one of the victims of the civil war, that market was actually destroyed and at the end of the war a new Nigeria has struggled to come into being and I believe that what is probably going to replace the market literature might be the video, which they have taken to in a big way, creating dramas.

The dramas we encounter are part and parcel of being human. If we experienced no change or drama in our lives, if nothing unexpected ever happened, we would merely be like automatons, our lives unbearably monotonous and dull.
