“You are taken, shaken, by moments when the improbability of our lives comes over you like a fever. Everything is remarkable, people, living, events present themselves to you with the immediacy of players in some barbarous and splendid drama that it seems we are part of.

“A third variety of drama ... begins as tragedy with scraps of fun in it ... and ends in comedy without mirth in it, the place of mirth being taken by a more or less bitter and critical irony.” EndsFunTakenComedyDramaThirdsTragedyCriticalBitterVarietyIronyScrapMirth Author:George Bernard Shaw
“The past is never dead. It's not even past. All of us labor in webs spun long before we were born, webs of heredity and environment, of desire and consequence, of history and eternity. Haunted by wrong turns and roads not taken, we pursue images perceived as new but whose providence dates to the dim dramas of childhood, which are themselves but ripples of consequence echoing down the generations. The quotidian demands of life distract from this resonance of images and events, but some of us feel it always.” FeelsLongPastDesireTurnsBornTakenEnvironmentGenerationsChildhoodEventsDramaDemandConsequenceLaborEternityPursueProvidenceRippleResonanceSpunHeredityWrong TurnRoad Not TakenHeredity And Environment Author:William Faulkner

“I think it's a real shame so many schools have taken out the hands-on classes. Art, music, auto mechanics, cooking, sewing, these are all things that can turn into jobs. You know, wood shop, steel shop, welding. These are all things that can turn into great careers, get kids interested. Things they can do with other students.

“I made reference continuously to the killings, the death, the life taken by all of these narcotrafficking gangs and human smugglers. I spoke of this problem as one of the wounds that Mexico suffers.

“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. So that may be the next thing way we will see coming out of the local basic level in our society.” WayBelieveMayWarEndsBigsMightTodayNextLiteratureStrongI BelieveLevelsTakenDramaCreatingVictimLocalsVideoDestroyedCivil WarOur SocietyComing OutNigeria Author:Chinua Achebe
“I'd like to do more dramatic roles but I would never give up comedy to do it. I've seen a lot of actors that do a complete 180 degrees and say: "I'm done with comedy, I want to be taken seriously." I take my comedy very seriously and I want to be taken seriously because of my comedy. I think it's more fun for me. I enjoy laughing and attempting to make people laugh. So I'd like to do more drama but I'd never do the 180 thing.” PeopleThinkingGivingDoneFunEnjoyLaughingTakenComedyDramaGiving UpDramaticNever Giving UpMaking People Laugh Author:Jason Biggs

“Ever since ROME, OPEN CITY, I have maintained a conscious, determined endeavor to try to understand the world in which I live, in a spirit of humility and respect for the facts and for history. What as the meaning of ROME, OPEN CITY? We were emerging from the tragedy of the war. We had all taken part in it, for we were all its victims. I sought only to picture the essence of things. I had absolutely no interest in telling a romanticized tale along the usual lives of film drama. The actual facts were each more dramatic than any screen cliche.” WorldTryingWarFactsFilmSpiritInterestCitiesTakenHumilityDramaConsciousEssenceTragedyVictimDeterminedScreensTalesDramaticEndeavorRomeUsualClicheEmerging Author:Roberto Rossellini
