We must conceive of this whole universe as one commonwealth of which both gods and men are members.
When anything is wrong with your child, your first instinct is to make it better.
When I was in fourth grade. . . this wonderful teacher said you didn't have to write a book report, you could just talk about the book, you could do a drawing of the book, you could write a play inspired by the book, and that's what I did.

I love working in the theater.
My teachers encouraged me to audition for some professional work during our summer vacation. I landed my first job. It was for the National Theatre Company's Mimika Pantomime troupe. I ended up touring with them for the next two years.

There has been considerable comment over the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to a soldier. I am afraid this does not seem as remarkable to me as it quite evidently appears to others.

I am deeply moved to find some means or method of avoiding another calamity of war.
