Tennessee Williams
I know I fib a good deal. After all, a woman's charm is fifty per cent illusion, but when a thing is important I tell the truth. - Blanche Scene II
Tennessee Williams

Tennessee Williams
Not facing a fire doesn't put it out.
Tennessee Williams
I gave up visiting my psychoanalyst because he was meddling too much in my private life.
Tennessee Williams
I always said little Truman had a voice so high it could only be detected by bats.
Tennessee Williams
There's no better credit card in the world than driving up at a bank door in a Cadillac limousine.
Tennessee Williams
I don't believe anyone ever suspects how completely unsure I am of my work and myself and what tortures of self-doubting the doubt of others has always given me.
Tennessee Williams
