More quotes by Tennessee Williams
I must endure & endure & still endure.
Tennessee Williams

Consequently I'm not a political person ... except that I'm a revolutionary.
Tennessee Williams

Tennessee Williams
I believe the way to write a good play is to convince yourself it is easy to do, then go ahead and do it with ease.
Tennessee Williams
But I think the spirit of man is a good adversary
Tennessee Williams
I don't want realism. I want magic!
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
The helpless can't help the helpless.
Tennessee Williams
It's hard enough for me to write what I want to write without me trying to write what you say they want me to write which I don't want to write.
Tennessee Williams
All pretty girls are a trap, a pretty trap, and men expect them to be.
Tennessee Williams
