The premise for me has always been that it's vulnerable people who do violent things. And the more vulnerable they feel, often, the more violent they are. But I think, you know, that's an idea that comes from history, from classical theater, for me.

Liev Schreiber

False love is only blinder.

George Farquhar

He'd have to be blinder than a bat. ~Alexander
