Tennessee Williams
Perhaps the most vivid recollection of my youth is that of the local wheelmen, led by my father, stopping at our home to eat pone, sip mint juleps, and flog the field hands. This more than anything cultivated my life-long aversion to bicycles.
Tennessee Williams
There is a time for departure even when there's no certain place to go.
Tennessee Williams
The work of a writer, his continuing work, depends for breath of life on a certain privacy of heart.
Tennessee Williams
The strongest influences in my life and my work are always whomever I love. Whomever I love and am with most of the time, or whomever I remember most vividly. I think that's true of everyone, don't you?
Tennessee Williams
Youth must be wanton, youth must be quick, Dance to the candle while lasteth the wick.
Tennessee Williams

Tennessee Williams
I can find almost anything funny, thank God, so you search for the black, lacy slip that encases the corpse. You know, shift the angle. God may take away, but he often leaves you with a terrific opening line for the next adventure. I would suggest taking it. Move on change the angle look at it in a different way tomorrow.
