Oh, you weak, beautiful people who give up with such grace. What you need is someone to take hold of you--gently, with love, and hand your life back to you, like something gold you let go of--and I can! I'm determined to do it--and nothing's more determined than a cat on a tin roof--is there?

Take by surprise and the world gives up resistance.

Nothing's more determined than a cat on a hot tin roof.

I can't stand a naked light bulb, any more than I can a rude remark or a vulgar action.

All good art is an indiscretion.

Being disappointed is one thing and being discouraged is something else. I am disappointed but I am not discouraged.

In human character, simplicity doesn't exist except among simpletons.
