Tony Kushner Quote

People in a boat, waiting, terrified, while implacable, unsmiling men, irresistibly strong, seize... maybe the person next to you, maybe you, and with no warning at all, with time only for a quick intake of air you are pitched into freezing, turbulent water and salt and darkness to drown.

Angels in America, pt. I: Millennium Approaches (1992), act I, sc. viii
