More quotes by Tennessee Williams
The human animal is a beast that dies but the fact that he’s dying don’t give him pity for others.
Tennessee Williams
Success and failure are equally disastrous.
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
Time doesn't take away from true friendship, nor does separation.
Tennessee Williams
Friends are God's way of apologizing to us for our families
Tennessee Williams
Everyone says he's sincere, but everyone isn't sincere. If everyone was sincere who says he's sincere there wouldn't be half so many insincere ones in the world and there would be lots, lots, lots more really sincere ones!
Tennessee Williams
No, truth is something desperate, an' she's got it. Believe me, it's something desperate, an' she's got it.
Tennessee Williams
My '60s plays were as good as most of the other plays I've written ... except I wasn't in a condition to refine them, to help in the rehearsal, or do anything. I was hardly conscious of what was going on except during the hours of the day when I was actually writing ... and that was with the aid of speed.
Tennessee Williams
There is a time for departure even when there's no certain place to go.
Tennessee Williams
Jim lights a cigarette and leans indolently back on his elbow smiling at Laura with a warmth and charm which lights her inwardly with altar candles.
Tennessee Williams
Death is one moment, and life is so many of them.
Tennessee Williams
A man, when he burns, leaves only a handful of ashes. No woman can hold him. The wind must blow him away.
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
Go, then! Go to the moon-you selfish dreamer!
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
We're left alone with each other. We have to creep close to each other and give gentle little nudges with our paws and our muzzles before we can slip into sleep and rest for the next day's playtime.
Tennessee Williams
I talk out the lines as I write them.
Tennessee Williams
Why did I write? Because I found life unsatisfactory.
Tennessee Williams
We live on two levels ... the realistic level and the fantastic level, and which is the real one, really?
Tennessee Williams
attempting to find in motion what was lost in space.
Tennessee Williams
