More quotes by Tennessee Williams
Walls are built up between people a hell of a damn sight faster than--broken down.
Tennessee Williams
When I write I don't aim to shock people, and I'm surprised when I do. But I don't think that anything that occurs in life should be omitted from art, though the artist should present it in a fashion that is artistic and not ugly. I set out to tell the truth. And sometimes the truth is shocking.
Tennessee Williams
You can be young without money but you can't be old without it.

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
People are not so dreadful when you know them. That's what you have to remember! And everybody has problems, not just you, but practically everybody has got some problems. You think of yourself as having the only problems, as being the only one who is disappointed. But just look around you and you will see lots of people as disappointed as you are.
Tennessee Williams
Once you fully apprehend the vacuity of a life without struggle, you are equipped with the basic means of salvation.
Tennessee Williams
In memory everything seems to happen to music.
Tennessee Williams
We're all of us guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.
Tennessee Williams
