“If they don't give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.”
Shirley Chisholm

Bertolt Brecht
“Motto"

In the dark times
Will there also be singing?
Yes, there will also be singing.
About the dark times.”
Bertolt Brecht

Peter Brook
“It's easy to give up, and that's the one thing we cannot do. That's what gives me a reason for working: to leave people with a little more courage, with a little hope that has been nourished. Even if, of course, it's going to disappear, whatever touches one isn't lost forever.”
Peter Brook

Mary Beard
“In the Roman world, Ovid’s Metamorphoses – that extraordinary mythological epic about people changing shape (and probably the most influential work of literature on Western art after the Bible) – repeatedly returns to the idea of the silencing of women in the process of their transformation.”
Mary Beard, Women & Power: A Manifesto

Peter Brook
“The closeness of reality and the distance of myth, because if there is no distance you aren't amazed, and if there is no closeness you aren't moved.”
Peter Brook, the stage director describing his approach to storytelling
