Edward Albee

The artist is a prophet, a seer, a visionary.

The only way to make sense of life is to make art.

The theatre is a place where we can be ourselves, or someone else.

I write because I have something to say, and I want to say it well.

The only thing that matters is the truth, however ugly it may be.

The theatre is a place where we can learn, where we can grow, where we can change.

I don't believe in God, but I believe in theatre.

The artist's job is to make people think, to make them feel, to make them question.

The only way to escape the past is to confront it.

The theatre is a place where we can celebrate life, in all its complexity and contradiction.

Sometimes a person has to go a very long distance out of his way to come back a short distance correctly.

Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf?

I am not a member of the establishment, comic or otherwise. And I don't like it any better when I don't.

The most profound betrayal we can experience is our own.

Art should be dangerous.

I write to find out what I'm thinking.

Theater is the art of the possible.

We can't ignore the elephant in the living room.

Truth is always the strongest argument.

I don't write for the ages; I write for now.
