“El 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.”
― Tennessee Williams, A Streetcar Named Desire

“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
