Consequently I'm not a political person ... except that I'm a revolutionary.
Tennessee Williams
All pretty girls are a trap, a pretty trap, and men expect them to be.
Tennessee Williams
Somebody said once or wrote, once: 'We're all of us children in a vast kindergarten trying to spell God's name with the wrong alphabet blocks!
