“Can you see me? Can you hear me? Does anything I say mean anything to you?”
“But forgetting's not something you do, it happens to you. Only it didn't happen to me”
Variant: Forgetting’s not something you do, it happens to you. Only it didn’t happen to me.

Context: I believe in neither a director’s nor a writer’s theatre, but a theatre of intelligent audiences. I count myself as a member of an intelligent audience, and I wrote to you as such. That you should disagree with me I can understand, but that you should resent my expressing my opinions is something that frankly amazes me. I thought we had outgrown the idea of theatre as a mystic rite born of secret communion between author, director, actors and an empty auditorium.
