More quotes by Tennessee Williams
If I got rid of my demons, I’d lose my angels.
Tennessee Williams
-You're simple, straightforward and honest, a little bit on the primitive side, I should think. To interest you a woman would have to... -To lay her cards out on the table.
Tennessee Williams
Sorrow makes for sincerity, I think.
Tennessee Williams
When things don’t change, their sameness becomes an accretion. That is why all society puts on flesh. Succumbs to the cubicles and begins to fill them.
Tennessee Williams
Why is it so damn hard for people to talk?
Tennessee Williams
When so many are lonely as seem to be lonely, it would be inexcusably selfish to be lonely alone.
Tennessee Williams
Youth must be wanton, youth must be quick, Dance to the candle while lasteth the wick.
Tennessee Williams
People are not so dreadful when you know them. That's what you have to remember! And everybody has problems, not just you, but practically everybody has got some problems. You think of yourself as having the only problems, as being the only one who is disappointed. But just look around you and you will see lots of people as disappointed as you are.
Tennessee Williams
I can find almost anything funny, thank God, so you search for the black, lacy slip that encases the corpse. You know, shift the angle. God may take away, but he often leaves you with a terrific opening line for the next adventure. I would suggest taking it. Move on change the angle look at it in a different way tomorrow.
Tennessee Williams
We live on two levels ... the realistic level and the fantastic level, and which is the real one, really?
Tennessee Williams
Something in me will save me from utter ruin no matter what comes.
Tennessee Williams
We're all of us guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.
Tennessee Williams
Mexico is the front door to South America - and the back door to the states.
Tennessee Williams
You can be young without money but you can't be old without it.
Tennessee Williams
A prayer for the wild at heart kept in cages.
Tennessee Williams
I gave up visiting my psychoanalyst because he was meddling too much in my private life.
Tennessee Williams
When I write I don't aim to shock people, and I'm surprised when I do. But I don't think that anything that occurs in life should be omitted from art, though the artist should present it in a fashion that is artistic and not ugly. I set out to tell the truth. And sometimes the truth is shocking.
Tennessee Williams
Don't you think there is always something unspoken between two people?
Tennessee Williams
Why did I write? Because I found life unsatisfactory.
Tennessee Williams
I'm tired and it's taking an increasing amount out of me, more than I have to give physically. And that's why I want to move to Sicily and buy that little farm and raise a flock of goats and geese. I find it peaceful ... and it would be a nice way to end life.
Tennessee Williams
