Edward Albee

Quotes

• “One must let the play happen to one; one must let the mind loose to respond as it will, to receive impressions, to sense rather than know, to gather rather than immediately understand.”

• “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.”

• “A play is fiction — and fiction is fact distilled into truth.”

• “American critics are like American universities. They both have dull and half-dead faculties.”

• “If Attila the Hun were alive today, he’d be a drama critic.”
