Tennessee Williams
Show me a person who hasn´t known any sorrow and I´ll show you a superficial.
Tennessee Williams
Once you fully apprehend the vacuity of a life without struggle, you are equipped with the basic means of salvation.
Tennessee Williams
Take by surprise and the world gives up resistance.
Tennessee Williams
If I got rid of my demons, I’d lose my angels.
Tennessee Williams
We all live in a house on fire, no fire department to call no way out, just the upstairs window to look out of while the fire burns the house down with us trapped, locked in it.
