“[Some playwrights are obvious influences on younger writers. Arthur Miller (realistic, politically engaged dramas) and Christopher Durang (satirical dark comedies) are examples.] But August stands apart, ... He has his special way of seeing things. I remember he and I were at one of those fancy benefits the Rep has. The gay men's chorus was singing, and I was very proud to have brought them into a Rep event. And August says, 'You know, I don't see any black people up there.' That was his focus: the lives of black people.”
Daniel Sullivan
“In my eyes, there are no white people, no black people, no any color people. JUST PEOPLE.”

“A sense of humor is part of the art of leadership, of getting along with people, of getting things done”
Dwight David Eisenhower
