More quotes by Tennessee Williams
Once you fully apprehend the vacuity of a life without struggle, you are equipped with the basic means of salvation.
Tennessee Williams
I can find almost anything funny, thank God, so you search for the black, lacy slip that encases the corpse. You know, shift the angle. God may take away, but he often leaves you with a terrific opening line for the next adventure. I would suggest taking it. Move on change the angle look at it in a different way tomorrow.
Tennessee Williams
I'm tired and it's taking an increasing amount out of me, more than I have to give physically. And that's why I want to move to Sicily and buy that little farm and raise a flock of goats and geese. I find it peaceful ... and it would be a nice way to end life.
Tennessee Williams
We're left alone with each other. We have to creep close to each other and give gentle little nudges with our paws and our muzzles before we can slip into sleep and rest for the next day's playtime.
Tennessee Williams
I believe that the silence of God, the absolute speechlessness of Him is a long, long, and awful thing that the whole world is lost because of.
Tennessee Williams
Val: Why do you go out there? Sandra: Because dead people give such good advice. Val: What advice do they give? Sandra: Just one word- live!
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
Nobody sees anybody truly, but all through the flaws of their own ego.
Tennessee Williams
Walls are built up between people a hell of a damn sight faster than--broken down.
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
If people behaved in the same way nations do they would all be put in straitjackets.
Tennessee Williams
Openings come quickly, sometimes, like blue space in running clouds. A complete overcast, then a blaze of light.
Tennessee Williams
Success and failure are equally disastrous.
Tennessee Williams
Friends are God's way of apologizing to us for our families
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
I think time is a merciless thing. I think life is a process of burning oneself out and time is the fire that burns you.
Tennessee Williams
I don't mean what other people mean when they speak of a home, because I don't regard a home as a...well, as a place, a building...a house...of wood, bricks, stone. I think of a home as being a thing that two people have between them in which each can...well, nest.
Tennessee Williams
If I got rid of my demons, I’d lose my angels.
Tennessee Williams
I talk out the lines as I write them.
Tennessee Williams
Hell is yourself and the only redemption is when a person puts himself aside to feel deeply for another person.
Tennessee Williams
