Italo Calvino
“...And meanwhile the Galaxy ran through space and left behind those signs old and new and I still hadn't found mine.”
Italo Calvino, Cosmicomics

Tennessee Williams
“I don't believe in "original sin." I don't believe in "guilt." I don't believe in villains or heroes - only right or wrong ways that individuals have taken, not by choice but by necessity or by certain still-uncomprehended influences in themselves, their circumstances, and their antecedents.
This is so simple I'm ashamed to say it, but I'm sure it's true. In fact, I would bet my life on it! And that's why I don't understand why our propaganda machines are always trying to teach us, to persuade us, to hate and fear other people on the same little world that we live in.”
Tennessee Williams, A Streetcar Named Desire

Tennessee Williams
“Never inside, I didn't lie in my heart...”
Tennessee Williams, A Streetcar Named Desire

Tennessee Williams
“Stanley:
Delicate piece she is.
Stella:
She is. She was. You didn't know Blanche as a girl. Nobody, nobody, was tender and trusting as she was. But people like you abused her, and forced her to change.”
Tennessee Williams, A Streetcar Named Desire

Italo Calvino
“Suppose we received from another planet a message made up of pure facts, facts of such clarity as to be merely obvious: we wouldn't pay attention, we would hardly even notice; only a message containing something unexpressed, something doubtful and partially indecipherable, would break through the threshold of our consciousness and demand to be received and interpreted.”
Italo Calvino, Cosmicomics
