Remember one thing about democracy. We can have anything we want and at the same time, we always end up with exactly what we deserve.

From Edward Albee

From Edward Albee

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

From Edward Albee

Sometimes it's necessary to go a long distance out of the way in order to come back a short distance correctly.

From Edward Albee

Good writers define reality; bad ones merely restate it. A good writer turns fact into truth; a bad writer will, more often than not, accomplish the opposite.

From Edward Albee

You gotta have swine to show you where the truffles are.

From Edward Albee

From Edward Albee

I swear, if you existed I'd divorce you.

From Edward Albee

It's a good idea to have friends both in Heaven and in Hell.

From Edward Albee

That's all that counts. People being sorry. Makes you feel better; gives you a sense of dignity, and that's all that's important; a sense of dignity. And it doesn't matter if you don't care or not, either. You got to have a sense of dignity, even if you don't care, 'cause, if you don't have that, civilization's doomed.
