Tennessee Williams
Being disappointed is one thing and being discouraged is something else. I am disappointed but I am not discouraged.
Tennessee Williams
In human character, simplicity doesn't exist except among simpletons.
Tennessee Williams
What shouldn't you do if you're a young playwright? Don't bore the audience! I mean, even if you have to resort to totally arbitrary killing on stage, or pointless gunfire, at least it'll catch their attention and keep them awake. Just keep the thing going any way you can.
Tennessee Williams
You can be young without money but you can't be old without it.

Tennessee Williams
Everyone says he's sincere, but everyone isn't sincere. If everyone was sincere who says he's sincere there wouldn't be half so many insincere ones in the world and there would be lots, lots, lots more really sincere ones!
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
Oh you weak, beautiful people who give up with such grace. What you need is someone to take hold of you
Tennessee Williams
Why did I write? Because I found life unsatisfactory.
Tennessee Williams
When so many are lonely as seem to be lonely, it would be inexcusably selfish to be lonely alone.
Tennessee Williams
Once you fully apprehend the vacuity of a life without struggle, you are equipped with the basic means of salvation.
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
Take by surprise and the world gives up resistance.
Tennessee Williams
Friends are God's way of apologizing to us for our families
