“Nature seeks its own order./ And order consists of boundaries./ Boundaries exist. That is the law of nature./ Purity, clarity. Boundaries are boundaries. Cultures are cultures, that’s the way it is, that’s how it always was. Beware of mixing.” – Rudolph in Roland Schimmelpfennig’s Winter Solstice at the Orange Tree Theatre
