“I like desires like children
and their plays
that tease me now and then into
knowing life.”

“Seeing the play (A Lie of the Mind) clearly is part of why I wanted to direct it. I see hope at the end of this play. People talk about how dark the play was, but I feel like, if you really look at the darkness, you’re able to go through it, and you realize that you can handle dark moments in life and that everything will be all right.”

“My Children, you are unaware of the battle that rages around you. Both secretly and openly do the dark forces fight. Your spirit, like a dam, is lashed by the waters. Your heart unfolds and will be flooded with knowledge. Fear not, O heart, you will conquer!”

“Everyone always talks about how well mothers know their children. No one ever seems to notice how well children know their mothers.”

“Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?
Must I always be playing, playing the fool?”

“If you make the smokestacks out of children, who will you force to clean them?”
