Peter Shaffer
“What did I expect of him? Very little, I promise you. One more dented little face. One more adolescent freak. The usual unusual. One great thing about being in the adjustment business: you're never short of customers.”
Peter Shaffer, Equus

Peter Shaffer
“He'll be delivered from madness. What then? He'll feel himself acceptable! What then? Do you think feelings like his can be simply re-attached, like plasters? Stuck on to other objects we select? Look at him! ... My desire might be to make this boy an ardent husband - a caring citizen - a worshipper of abstract and unifying God. My achievement, however, is more likely to make a ghost!”
Peter Shaffer, Equus

“We all wear masks, and the time comes when we cannot remove them without removing some of our own skin.”
André Berthiaume

Peter Shaffer
“Passion, you see, can be destroyed by a doctor. It cannot be created.”
Peter Shaffer, Equus

Peter Shaffer
“In an ultimate sense I cannot know what I do in this place - yet I do ultimate things. Essentially I cannot know what I do - yet I do essential things. Irreversible, terminal things. I stand in the dark with a pick in my hand, striking at heads! I need - more desperately than my children need me - a way of seeing in the dark.”
Peter Shaffer, Equus
