“I come in here and you gotta be here; I’m thinkin’ about football, and you gotta be here with your tits and your ass and this tight shrunken clothes and these shriveled jeans, so that’s all I’m thinking about from the minute I see you is tits and ass. Football doesn’t have a chance against it. It’s like this invasion of tits and ass overwhelming my own measly individuality so I don’t have a prayer to have my own thoughts about my own things except you and tits and ass and sucking and fucking and that’s all I can think about. My privacy has been demolished. You think a person wants that kind of a thing to happen their heads - they are trying to give their problems some serious thought, the next thing they know there’s nothing in their brains as far as they can see but your tits and ass? You think a person likes that?”
David Rabe, Hurlyburly

“Eddie: You don’t have any feelings at all.
Phil: I don’t have your feelings, Eddie; that’s all. I have my own, they get me by.”
David Rabe, Hurlyburly

“Murderers don't even know that murder happens.”
David Rabe, Sticks and Bones
