"I have an innate feeling of exultance about tragedy, which comes
from a great reverence for the Greek feeling for tragedy.
The tragedy of Man is perhaps the only significant thing about him.
What I am after, is to get an audience to leave the theater with an
exultant feeling, from seeing somebody on the stage facing life,
fighting against the eternal odds, not conquering, but perhaps
inevitably being conquered. The individual life is made significant
just by the struggle, and the acceptance and assertion of that
individual, making him what he is not, as always in the past,
making him something not himself."
