Tennessee Williams
Oh, you weak, beautiful people who give up with such grace. What you need is someone to take hold of you--gently, with love, and hand your life back to you, like something gold you let go of--and I can! I'm determined to do it--and nothing's more determined than a cat on a tin roof--is there?
Tennessee Williams

Tennessee Williams
Young, gifted, and destitute.
Tennessee Williams
Symbols are nothing but the natural speech of drama.
Tennessee Williams
Luck is believing you're lucky.
Tennessee Williams
Youth must be wanton, youth must be quick, Dance to the candle while lasteth the wick.
Tennessee Williams
Nobody knew my rose of the world but me... I had too much glory. They don't want glory like that in nobody's heart
Tennessee Williams
Go, then! Go to the moon-you selfish dreamer!
Tennessee Williams
The biggest of all differences in this world is between the ones that had or have pleasure in love and those that haven't and hadn't any pleasure in love, but just watched with sick envy.
Tennessee Williams
Physical beauty is passing - a transitory possession - but beauty of the mind, richness of the spirit, tenderness of the heart - I have all these things - aren't taken away but grow! Increase with the years!
Tennessee Williams
