BLANCHE: I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes magic! I try to give that to people. I misrepresent things to them. I don't tell truth, I tell what ought to be truth. And if that is sinful, then let me be damned for it!--Don't turn on the light!
-Tennessee Williams, The Glass Meanger
Heh, that's from Streetcar. The bit with the paper light shade makes me sad.

I had a large sheet of sketchbook paper on my desk a few years ago, and a couple of years ago (haha, precise) I went through and transcribed it into my LJ. IIRC it was a mix of literature and Rage Against The Machine lyrics. Angst!
