Tennessee Williams
Nothing human disgusts me unless it's unkind.
Tennessee Williams
Jim lights a cigarette and leans indolently back on his elbow smiling at Laura with a warmth and charm which lights her inwardly with altar candles.
Tennessee Williams
There is no pleasure in the world like writing well and going fast.
Tennessee Williams
Friends are God's way of apologizing to us for our families
Tennessee Williams
Time goes by so fast. Nothin' can outrun it. Death commences too early--almost before you're half-acquainted with life--you meet the other.
Tennessee Williams

Tennessee Williams

Tennessee Williams
Why is it so damn hard for people to talk?
Tennessee Williams

Tennessee Williams
I believe the way to write a good play is to convince yourself it is easy to do, then go ahead and do it with ease.
Tennessee Williams
Nobody sees anybody truly, but all through the flaws of their own ego.
Tennessee Williams
Hell is yourself and the only redemption is when a person puts himself aside to feel deeply for another person.
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
I know I fib a good deal. After all, a woman's charm is fifty per cent illusion, but when a thing is important I tell the truth. - Blanche Scene II
