Only animals have to satisfy instincts! Surely your aims are somewhat higher than theirs! Than monkeys! Pigs!
Tennessee Williams
Marriage is an economic arrangement in many ways, let's face it.
Tennessee Williams
The only unforgivable sin is deliberate cruelty.
Tennessee Williams
I must endure & endure & still endure.
Tennessee Williams
What is straight? A line can be straight, or a street, but the human heart, oh, no, it's curved like a road through mountains.
