We are a professional military.

They can find money they need to stay in school.

You have to lure people by getting them excited about a theatrical experience.

    Washington Times, December 01, 1995.

And so there's sort of a layer of unreality; there's not a sense of continuity.

  • We do literature a real disservice if we reduce it to knowledge or to use, to a problem to be solved. If literature solves problems, it does so by its own inexhaustibility, and by its ultimate refusal to be applied or used, even for moral good. This refusal, indeed, is literature's most moral act. At a time when meanings are manifold, disparate, and always changing, the rich possibility of interpretation--the happy resistance of the text to ever be fully known and mastered--is one of the most exhilarating products of human culture.
