More quotes by Tennessee Williams
There is no pleasure in the world like writing well and going fast. It's like nothing else. It's like a love affair, it goes on and on, and doesn't end in marriage. It's all courtship.
Tennessee Williams
The violets in the mountains have broken the rocks.
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
Friends are God's way of apologizing to us for our families
Tennessee Williams

Tennessee Williams
I always said little Truman had a voice so high it could only be detected by bats.
Tennessee Williams
Sorrow makes for sincerity, I think.
Tennessee Williams
A vacuum is a hell of a lot better than some of the stuff that nature replaces it with.
Tennessee Williams
An artist must believe in himself - Possibly not so passionately as Lawrence - but passionately. Your belief is contagious. Others say - He is vain - but they are affected.
Tennessee Williams
For a creative person there's just as much pleasure in writing an eight-line poem as there is in writing a blockbuster play ... of the old '50s type.
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
We live on two levels ... the realistic level and the fantastic level, and which is the real one, really?
Tennessee Williams
Success is blocked by concentrating on it and planning for it... Success is shy - it won't come out while you're watching.
Tennessee Williams
The trouble with this world is that everybody has to compromise and conform.
Tennessee Williams
