An infallible method of conciliating a tiger is to allow oneself to be devoured.
- Konrad Adenauer

Look hard at the complexities in, for example, elections. Then, when you tell a story, people will not only listen. They will be able to build on something which has a stability approaching that of truth.

Arts Theatre - Political Action Reasserts

After a period in which political theatre seemed to have disappeared for awhile, politcal theatre is back in America. Indeed, responding to a number of political exigencies — among them the elevation of George W. Bush to the presidency by the Supreme Court, the Sept. 11 attacks, the looming war in Iraq and more generally the perceptible shift to the right in national perspective — American stages have been reasserting the theater's traditionally liberal bias with an almost vengeful fervor.
· Bohemians [The New York Times]

Good intentions can be evil,
Both hands can be full of grease.
You know that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
(as a suicidal man of political power)
-- Bob Dylan
