More quotes by Tennessee Williams
The work of a writer, his continuing work, depends for breath of life on a certain privacy of heart.
Tennessee Williams
If I got rid of my demons, I’d lose my angels.
Tennessee Williams
The helpless can't help the helpless.
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
Death is one moment, and life is so many of them.
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
We're left alone with each other. We have to creep close to each other and give gentle little nudges with our paws and our muzzles before we can slip into sleep and rest for the next day's playtime.
Tennessee Williams
Time doesn't take away from true friendship, nor does separation.
Tennessee Williams
I don't believe anyone ever suspects how completely unsure I am of my work and myself and what tortures of self-doubting the doubt of others has always given me.
Tennessee Williams
Don't you just love these long rainy afternoons in New Orleans when an hour isn't just an hour — but a little bit of eternity dropped in your hands — and who knows what to do with it?
Tennessee Williams
