Zitat des Tages von Marsha Norman:
Knowing is the most profound kind of love, giving someone the gift of knowledge about yourself.
Dreams are illustrations from the book your soul is writing about you.
People do think that if they avoid the truth, it might change to something better before they have to hear it.
Success is always something that you have to recover from.
I feel that I speak the musical language.
In the theater, when people hear that you're writing a play, they want to know what it's all about, whether there's a role for them. You write it fairly quickly, and it becomes a group activity before you're really ready to have company.
When 'night, Mother' opened, I did not know how long it would be before I would have another show on Broadway.
What I hope to do is create a play that investigates the ongoing violence toward women and children in the world, and searches for some kind of answer to the question, 'What Can We Do?'
I grew up at the piano, and I longed to write musicals.
After I won the Pulitzer, there was this sense of, 'OK, that's enough for you. Now go away.' What I wanted was to keep writing, keep working. But no one would produce anything of mine they didn't think would be as big as 'night, Mother.'
There are days when I think the National Endowment for the Arts should issue a quota system for the production of plays by women - especially when you realize women buy 70 percent of all theater tickets.
