“Want is one only of five giants on the road of reconstruction; the others are Disease, Ignorance, Squalor, and Idleness.”
William Beveridge
“I didn't really know what to do - I mean, I'm not a social worker, ... I saw the squalor, but they were smiling and their eyes were still bright.”
Kathryn Kelly
“It was squalor, absolute squalor. Bug infestations, trash on the floor.”
Frank Johnston
“I've never lived in the 'hood, I've never lived in squalor and I'm not black. But I have an older brother and I know what it's like to share a home with a brother, to share your clothes and sporting equipment, all the fights and disagreements you have as brothers. So that's the way I approached this play.”
Paul Potenza
“The displaced survivors of hurricane relief ... have been displaced again in reconstruction.”
Jesse Jackson
“The important thing is that the worst is over, ... Now comes the reconstruction.”
Vicente Fox
“Being a doctor has taught me a lot about directing. You're doing the same thing: You're reconstructing the manifold of behavior to the point where an audience says, yes, that's exactly like people I know.”
Jonathan Miller
