Tennessee WilliamsYes, movies! Look at them — All of those glamorous people — having adventures — hogging it all, gobbling the whole thing up! You know what happens? People go to the movies instead of moving! Hollywood characters are supposed to have all the adventures for everybody in America, while everybody in America sits in a dark room and watches them have them! Yes, until there's a war. That's when adventure becomes available to the masses! Everyone's dish, not only Gable's! Then the people in the dark room come out of the dark room to have some adventures themselves — Goody, goody! — It's our turn now, to go to the south Sea Island — to make a safari — to be exotic, far-off! — But I'm not patient.

Tennessee WilliamsEl objetivo de su vida, desde su
adolescencia, es el placer con las mujeres, que da y recibe, no con indulgente ligereza sino con el
orgulloso poder de un gallo de buen plumaje en un corral de gallinas. De esta satisfecha plenitud
derivan todos los cardes secundarios de su vida: amistad con los hombres, humor rudo y directo,
amor a la buena mesa y a la buena bebida, al juego, a su coche, a su radio, a todo cuanto posee y
lleva por ello la impronta orgulloso del sembrador. Valora las mujeres al primer vistazo, las
clasifica sexualmente y les dedica la sonrisa justa.
The apartment faces an alley and is entered by a fire-escape, a structure whose name is a touch of accidental poetic truth, for all of these huge buildings are always burning with the slow and implacable fires of human desperation.
