ON: LIFE AS THEATER

OSCAR WILDE observes:

Life is a play.  Those who are unhappy with it are more often dissatisfied with their lines rather than their roles.  Bad costumes displease also.

MARK TWAIN remarks:

If  life were truly a play than we should be given a rehearsal or two before we try it for real.  Some "out of town" preview performances would help too, if performed before a sympathetic audience.  Come to think of it, this may be what childhood is for.
