Tennessee Williams
Time doesn't take away from true friendship, nor does separation.

Their eyes had failed them, or they had failed their eyes, and so they were having their fingers pressed forcibly down on the fiery Braille alphabet of a dissolving economy.
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
Being disappointed is one thing and being discouraged is something else. I am disappointed but I am not discouraged.
Tennessee Williams
A drinking man's someone who wants to forget he isn't still young an' believing.
Tennessee Williams
I talk out the lines as I write them.
Tennessee Williams
Mendacity is a system that we live in, declares Brick. Liquor is one way out an'death's the other.
