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

More quotes by 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
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
A drinking man's someone who wants to forget he isn't still young an' believing.
Tennessee Williams
Nobody knew my rose of the world but me... I had too much glory. They don't want glory like that in nobody's heart
Tennessee Williams
The only unforgivable sin is deliberate cruelty.
Tennessee Williams
The work of a writer, his continuing work, depends for breath of life on a certain privacy of heart.
Tennessee Williams
We all live in a house on fire, no fire department to call no way out, just the upstairs window to look out of while the fire burns the house down with us trapped, locked in it.
Tennessee Williams
People go to the movies instead of moving.
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
There is no pleasure in the world like writing well and going fast.
Tennessee Williams
Hysteria is a natural phenomenon, the common denominator of the female nature. It's the female weapon and the test of a man is his ability to cope with it.
Tennessee Williams
Nobody sees anybody truly, but all through the flaws of their own ego.
Tennessee Williams
For there was a conspiracy of dullness in the world, a universal plan to shut out the resurgences of spirit which might interfere with clockwork. Better to keep your elevation unseen until it is higher than strangers' hands can reach to pull you down to their level.
Tennessee Williams
Young, gifted, and destitute.
Tennessee Williams
It's hard enough for me to write what I want to write without me trying to write what you say they want me to write which I don't want to write.
Tennessee Williams
Openings come quickly, sometimes, like blue space in running clouds. A complete overcast, then a blaze of light.
Tennessee Williams
Luck is believing you're lucky.
Tennessee Williams
It is, perhaps more than anything else, the arrest of time which has taken place in a completed work of art that gives certain plays their feeling of depth and significance.
Tennessee Williams
Don't you think there is always something unspoken between two people?
Tennessee Williams
Like a cat on a hot tin roof.
