how the fuck did all of those renaissance dilettantes learn so much crap? Like they spoke 3 languages and were foremost in several branches of science, plus they wrote poetry, played the violin, and were master artists? And they still had time to be gay?

The emotional and physical labor necessary to maintain the lifestyles of Renaissance and Enlightenment polymaths was shunted almost entirely to their uncredited servants, slaves, wives, and daughters. 

Whenever we compare ourselves to the ‘genius men’ of the past, and wonder why we fall so short, remember this: their intellectual capacity, energy, and freedom was because there was someone else washing the damn dishes.

“All of the actors who trained in it, in the beginning, [we] had the response that some of the audience had. We’re a bunch of actors, we’re not dancers, we’re not even necessarily particularly athletic, some of us, and we’re just showing up in our sweats in a room. We’ve all just met each other and now we’re going to move our body in ways we’ve never moved them before? And we’re going to do it in front of each other? In the beginning, you’re embarrassed, you’re ashamed, you laugh a little to make it feel OK, but by the time we were doing those movements for two or three months on end, something otherworldly starts to happen in your own body and starts to happen between people who are doing them.”
