Tennessee Williams
When things don’t change, their sameness becomes an accretion. That is why all society puts on flesh. Succumbs to the cubicles and begins to fill them.
Tennessee Williams
Why did I write? Because I found life unsatisfactory.
Tennessee Williams
They told me to take a streetcar named Desire and then transfer to one called Cemeteries and ride six blocks and get off at - Elysian Fields!
Tennessee Williams
There is no pleasure in the world like writing well and going fast.
