• When I used to teach writing, what I would tell my playwriting students is that while you're writing your plays, you're also writing the playwright.

But you aren't simply an invisible being or your own private being at work. You're kind of a public figure, as well.

• I kept as still as I could. Nothing happened. I did not expect anything to happen. I was something that lay under the sun and felt it, like the pumpkins, and I did not want to be anything more. I was entirely happy. Perhaps we feel like that when we die and become a part of something entire, whether it is sun and air, or goodness and knowledge. At any rate, that is happiness; to be dissolved into something complete and great. When it comes to one, it comes as naturally as sleep.
