Text of the day: “Faith healer — faith healing. A craft without an apprenticeship, a vocation without a ministry. How did I get involved? As a young man I chanced to flirt with it and it possessed me. No, no, no, no, no — that’s rhetoric. No; let’s say I did it… because I could do it. That’s accurate enough.” (Frank in Brian Friel’s Faith Healer)
