"The world is violent and mercurial - it will have its way with you. We are saved only by love - love for each other and the love that we pour into the art we feel compelled to share: being a parent; being a writer; being a painter; being a friend. We live in a perpetually burning building, and what we must save from, at all the time, is love."
- Tennessee Williams
A friend in Chicago sent this photo to me today. I love the source of the quote, and I love that it's presented as a Valentine.
