The violets in the mountains have broken the rocks.

The actress and advocate (and tell me after listening to this amazing speech she isn't one) Patricia Clarkson set the house on fire with one of the most moving, pointed and humorous speeches at the New Orleans HRC dinner. She based it on Tennessee Williams' gorgeous epitaph

"The violets in the mountains have broken the rocks."

The full text of the speech is here.
