Tennessee Williams
People go to the movies instead of moving.
Tennessee Williams

Tennessee Williams
In all these years, you never believed I loved you. And I did. I did so much. I did love you. I even loved your hate and your hardness.
Tennessee Williams
A drinking man's someone who wants to forget he isn't still young an' believing.
Tennessee Williams
Mendacity is a system that we live in, declares Brick. Liquor is one way out an'death's the other.
Tennessee Williams
But I think the spirit of man is a good adversary
