Quote of the Day (Edward Albee, on Why ‘The Arts Are Not There to Comfort’)

“The arts are not there to comfort. The arts are there to hold a mirror up to society. If you don't like what you see, why don't you change?''—Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Edward Albee (Mar. 12, 1928-Sept. 16, 1916), address to Rollins College, quoted in Elizabeth Maupin, “Winter Park—Playwright Edward Albee Thanked,” Orlando Sentinel, Feb. 19, 2000
