More quotes by Tennessee Williams
I don't want realism. I want magic!
Tennessee Williams
Death is one moment, and life is so many of them.
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
How beautiful it is and how easily it can be broken.
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
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
The name of a person you love is more than language.
Tennessee Williams
America has only three cities: New York, San Francisco, and New Orleans. Everywhere else is Cleveland.
Tennessee Williams

Tennessee Williams
We're all of us guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.
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
Tennessee Williams
Why is it so damn hard for people to talk?
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
The violets in the mountains have broken the rocks.
Tennessee Williams
Physical beauty is passing - a transitory possession - but beauty of the mind, richness of the spirit, tenderness of the heart - I have all these things - aren't taken away but grow! Increase with the years!
Tennessee Williams
Go, then! Go to the moon-you selfish dreamer!
Tennessee Williams
Take by surprise and the world gives up resistance.
Tennessee Williams
Man is by instinct a lover, a hunter, a fighter, and none of those instincts are given much play at the warehouse!
