Tennessee Williams
Marriage is an economic arrangement in many ways, let's face it.
Tennessee Williams

Tennessee Williams
I don't believe anyone ever suspects how completely unsure I am of my work and myself and what tortures of self-doubting the doubt of others has always given me.
Tennessee Williams
I must endure & endure & still endure.
Tennessee Williams
There is no pleasure in the world like writing well and going fast.
Tennessee Williams
For nowadays the world is lit by lightning! Blow out your candles, Laura -- and so goodbye. . . .
Tennessee Williams
There's no better credit card in the world than driving up at a bank door in a Cadillac limousine.
Tennessee Williams
A prayer for the wild at heart kept in cages.
Tennessee Williams
In memory everything seems to happen to music.
Tennessee Williams
A man, when he burns, leaves only a handful of ashes. No woman can hold him. The wind must blow him away.
