From Edward Albee’s play The Zoo Story ( 1958 ):
Jerry:
…it’s just that if you can’t deal with people, you have to make a start somewhere. WITH ANIMALS! Don’t you see? A person has to have some way of dealing with SOMETHING…with pornographic playing cards, with a strongbox…WITHOUT A LOCK…with love, with vomiting, with crying, with fury because the pretty little ladies aren’t pretty little ladies, with making money with your body which is an act of love and I could prove it, with howling because you’re alive; with God. How about that? WITH GOD WHO IS A COLORED QUEEN WHO WEARS A KIMONO AND PLUCKS HIS EYEBROWS, WHO IS A WOMAN WHO CRIES WITH DETERMINATION BEHIND HER CLOSED DOOR…with God who, I’m told, turned his back on the whole thing some time ago…with…some day, with people.
