Cupcakes & Carnage

I was in a class that was studying Six Degrees of Separation, a play by John Guare. Here are some quotes from him that I really felt would be great to share:

"We live in a world of magazines where the new pornography is sort of looking into people's lives. Look at my life! Look at my paintings, look at my sofa, look at my hallway leading from my foyer. People are always trying to make things a comfortable shape. But that's not really possible. We're always walking in and out of other people's narratives."

"It seems we live in a world where amnesia is the most wished-for state. When did history become a bad word? It's extraordinary, our need to move on at all costs and not ask what happened. Life just passes through us. I don't want life to just pass through me."
