    I have a lifetime appointment and I intend to serve it. I expect to die at 110, shot by a jealous husband.
    Thurgood Marshall (1908–1993)

    Here I sit down to form characters. One I intend to be all goodness; All goodness he is. Another I intend to be all gravity; All gravity he is. Another Lady Gish; All Lady Gish she is. I am all the while absorbed in the character. It is not fair to say—I, identically I, am anywhere, while I keep within the character.
    Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
