More quotes by Tennessee Williams
We're all of us guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.
Tennessee Williams
Everyone should know nowadays the unimportance of the photographic in art: that truth, life, or reality is an organic thing which the poetic imagination can represent or suggest, in essence, only through transformation, through changing into other forms than those which were merely present in appearance.
Tennessee Williams
I don't mean what other people mean when they speak of a home, because I don't regard a home as a...well, as a place, a building...a house...of wood, bricks, stone. I think of a home as being a thing that two people have between them in which each can...well, nest.
Tennessee Williams
For there was a conspiracy of dullness in the world, a universal plan to shut out the resurgences of spirit which might interfere with clockwork. Better to keep your elevation unseen until it is higher than strangers' hands can reach to pull you down to their level.
Tennessee Williams
Perhaps the most vivid recollection of my youth is that of the local wheelmen, led by my father, stopping at our home to eat pone, sip mint juleps, and flog the field hands. This more than anything cultivated my life-long aversion to bicycles.
Tennessee Williams
I believe that the silence of God, the absolute speechlessness of Him is a long, long, and awful thing that the whole world is lost because of.
Tennessee Williams
I must endure & endure & still endure.
Tennessee Williams
I’m a poet. And then I put the poetry in the drama. I put it in short stories, and I put it in the plays. Poetry’s poetry. It doesn’t have to be called a poem, you know.
Tennessee Williams
You can be young without money but you can't be old without it.
Tennessee Williams
Time rushes towards us with its hospital tray of infinitely varied narcotics, even while it is preparing us for its inevitably fatal operation.
Tennessee Williams
Youth must be wanton, youth must be quick, Dance to the candle while lasteth the wick.
Tennessee Williams
Like a cat on a hot tin roof.
Tennessee Williams
I think time is a merciless thing. I think life is a process of burning oneself out and time is the fire that burns you.
Tennessee Williams
Nothing human disgusts me unless it's unkind.
Tennessee Williams
Marriage is an economic arrangement in many ways, let's face it.
Tennessee Williams
They told me to take a streetcar named Desire and then transfer to one called Cemeteries and ride six blocks and get off at - Elysian Fields!
Tennessee Williams
In memory everything seems to happen to music.
Tennessee Williams
Man is by instinct a lover, a hunter, a fighter, and none of those instincts are given much play at the warehouse!
Tennessee Williams
Men don't want anything they get too easy. But on the other hand, men lose interest quickly.
Tennessee Williams
Walls are built up between people a hell of a damn sight faster than--broken down.
Tennessee Williams
