I said, “Honey, I don’t feel so good, don’t feel justified. Come on, put a little love here in my void.” He said, “It’s all in your head.” And I said, “So’s everything.” But he didn’t get it. I thought he was a man but he was just a little boy.

“Everything that is tearing us down today will become a memory, and this memory will be shared as an anecdote or a story or a poem or a play or a warning. It will be shared with another human being, who will then understand that he is not alone in his sadness. This is why we show up for others and tell our tales and listen to others. The great congregation meets daily, and you are someone’s angel today.”

— Tennessee Williams, in an interview with James Grissom (via larmoyante)
