Doctor Faustus

Text of the day: “Listen, the village, the town, the city is out there for the taking. Fame or infamy, it doesn’t matter, they are the only immortality available to man. To sin big is to rise above the mediocrity of the masses. Sin big. Sin famously.” (Mephistopheles in Christopher Marlowe and Colin Teevan’s Doctor Faustus)
