i'm reading again. . .

on a regular basis. it's wonderful! I'm re-reading Anne Bogart's A Director Prepares: Seven Essays on Art and Theatre. There are two many choice quotes, insights, and pieces of advice to write them all down, I'll just have to hope my tiny brain absorbs as many as possible! But here are a few I found in just the first few pages.


One has only to read, to look, to listen, to remember

(Virginia Woolf)


"Reality depends upon our choices of what and how we choose to observe."


Examine for a moment an ordinary mind on an ordinary day. The mind receives a myriad impressions -- trivial, fantastic, evanescent, or engraved with the sharpness of steel. From all sides they come, an incessant shower of innumerable atoms; and as they fall, as they shape themselves into the life of Monday or Tuesday, the accent falls differently from of old; the moment of importance came not here but there.

(Virginia Woolf)


. . . . and more to come!
