“Don’t you just love these long rainy afternoons in New Orleans when an hour isn’t just an hour — but a little bit of eternity dropped in your hands — and who knows what to do with it?”

Maggie, we’re through with lies and liars in this house. Lock the door.

I respect a person that has had to fight and howl for his decency.

Snatching the eternal out of the desperately fleeting is the great magic trick of human existence.

Caged birds accept each other, but flight is what they long for.

When I stop working the rest of the day is posthumous. I’m only really alive when I’m writing.

What is the victory of a cat on a hot tin roof? – I wish I knew… Just staying on it, I guess, as long as she can.

I loved New York — every inch of it. It was a little bit scary at that time, but still, the excitement was so strong — visually and intellectually. It was like a monster.
