Anyone know where this quote is from?

"At 10 o'clock, he will be here. I can see him already, with vine leaves in his hair-- flushed and fearless. And then, you see, then he will have regained control over himself. Then he will be a free man for all his days. I want for once in all my life to have the power to mold a human destiny. I have never had the power, and now I want it desperately."

Been trying to memorize my scene for class (which starts again on Monday), which begins with this quote. I'm not sure which play the quote is from though, so if anyone knows it, please pass on the info. I recieved a semi-hilarious voicemail from Jeremy, informing me that "we've been very bad" and should probably get together very soon to practice our scene. Soon like before Monday night. We'll probably meet up on Monday during the day-- cuz we're good like that. I don't know exactly what it is, but something about the guy always cracks me up. Sometimes it's like we have some secret joke between us; we make eye contact, and I just laugh really hard. I guess that's why Wendy keeps pairing us in scenes, we have a good comedy thing going.

I've been trying to find something to get involved in, but it's tough. I can't find a job, and it's been so long since I've really auditioned for anything that I barely know where to even begin anymore. Not to mention my housing situation, which is awkward. I just feel very displaced right now. That's the perfect word for what I feel... Displaced. And also a bit stir crazy. Sometimes I just feel like I want to move to another state, and assume a new identity, and start over. Or at least just move away. But then I remind myself that I don't want to move away, and I'm back to where I started.

On a cheerful note, I'm feeling like myself again. Maybe not the best version of myself, but I feel more in control, and I'm not sick anymore. I'm in much better shape than I have been the past couple of weeks, so I know I'm going in the right direction. Maybe one day soon I can get a job?
