Tennessee Williams
An artist must believe in himself - Possibly not so passionately as Lawrence - but passionately. Your belief is contagious. Others say - He is vain - but they are affected.
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
Security is a kind of death.
Tennessee Williams
Mendacity is a system that we live in, declares Brick. Liquor is one way out an'death's the other.
Tennessee Williams
I always said little Truman had a voice so high it could only be detected by bats.
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.
