"I told you earlier about approaching words as if they were the Eucharist, or the first breast in the hands of an amorous boy, and I think this honor, this respect, is necessary for good work to come. We not only have to approach the words and the work with this valuable honor, but we must do the same with ourselves: We must take care of ourselves. This I did not do, and the price is steep. We must husband our minds and our backs and our legs and our eyes. We must keep reading and looking and caring--and seeing to it that our fellow writers and actors and artists and musicians have us as their audience. There is so much to do to get it right, and so little time." --Tennessee Williams/Interview with James Grissom/1982/Photograph by W. Eugene Smith from 1948/
