AUTHOR:
Tennessee Williams
QUOTATION:
My own creed as a playwright is fairly close to that expressed by the painter in Shaw’s play The Doctor’s Dilemma, “I believe in Michelangelo, Velásquez and Rembrandt; in the might of design, the mystery of color, the redemption of all things by beauty everlasting and the message of art that has made these hands blessed. Amen.”
