From my experience researching theatre theory, Grotowski quotations are especially prone to misattribution. I have seen many lines paraphrased across interviews, essays, and workshop notes without clear sourcing. I would recommend checking his published lectures, particularly collections edited from spoken material, rather than secondary citations. Often the wording shifts over time, so identifying the conceptual context can be more reliable than locating a verbatim sentence.
