Alasdair MacIntyre Quotes

We Enter Upon A Stage Which We Did Not Design And We Find Ourselves Part Of An Action That Was Not Of Our Making. Each Of Us Being A Main Character In His Own Drama Plays Subordinate Parts In The Dramas Of Others, And Each Drama Constrains The Others. In My Drama, Perhaps, I Am Hamlet Or Iago Or At Least The Swineherd Who May Yet Become A Prince, But To You I Am Only A Gentleman Or At Best Second Murderer, While You Are My Polonius Or My Gravedigger, But Your Own Hero. Each Of Our Dramas Exerts Constraints On Each Other's, Making The Whole Different From The Parts, But Still Dramatic.
