“I ought to develop an intolerance for fear. I have to stop wasting my time on the edge of writing and caring and simply do both of those things. There is a place to which I once had swift and easy access. This is not a geographical location, but a psychic one, I suppose. It swirls with memory and a generous if not always healthy need to share these memories. I do not understand how I came to possess so much extraneous thought and fear, but it drags me away from this place to which I would like to return.”

— Tennessee Williams, quoted in Follies of God: Tennessee Williams and the Women of the Fog
