Extract

But time is too large, it can't be filled up. Everything you plunge into it is stretched and disintegrates. That gesture, for instance, the red hand picking up the cards and fumbling: it is all flabby. It would have to be ripped apart and tailored inside.

Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea

My aim was to show that delusions and hallucinations were not just specific symptoms of mental disease but also had a human meaning.

C.G. Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections

My first moment of theatre, the moment most powerful for me and my first step away from life in the direction of art, occurred in 1961 the first time I was in front of an audience. The play was The Curious Savage. (Ironically enough, it was a romantic play about an insane asylum and its inmates of which I was one.) It was our senior play at a small boarding school I was attending in Maine.
