More quotes by Tennessee Williams
How beautiful it is and how easily it can be broken.
Tennessee Williams
The human animal is a beast that dies but the fact that he’s dying don’t give him pity for others.
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
I’m a poet. And then I put the poetry in the drama. I put it in short stories, and I put it in the plays. Poetry’s poetry. It doesn’t have to be called a poem, you know.
Tennessee Williams
There's no better credit card in the world than driving up at a bank door in a Cadillac limousine.
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
When I write I don't aim to shock people, and I'm surprised when I do. But I don't think that anything that occurs in life should be omitted from art, though the artist should present it in a fashion that is artistic and not ugly. I set out to tell the truth. And sometimes the truth is shocking.
Tennessee Williams
Nothing human disgusts me unless it's unkind.
Tennessee Williams
Time rushes towards us with its hospital tray of infinitely varied narcotics, even while it is preparing us for its inevitably fatal operation.
Tennessee Williams
In memory everything seems to happen to music.
Tennessee Williams
If I got rid of my demons, I’d lose my angels.
Tennessee Williams
For nowadays the world is lit by lightning! Blow out your candles, Laura -- and so goodbye. . . .
Tennessee Williams
When so many are lonely as seem to be lonely, it would be inexcusably selfish to be lonely alone.
Tennessee Williams
Jim lights a cigarette and leans indolently back on his elbow smiling at Laura with a warmth and charm which lights her inwardly with altar candles.
Tennessee Williams
attempting to find in motion what was lost in space.
Tennessee Williams
You can be young without money but you can't be old without it.
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.
Tennessee Williams
Luck is believing you're lucky.
Tennessee Williams
I'm tired and it's taking an increasing amount out of me, more than I have to give physically. And that's why I want to move to Sicily and buy that little farm and raise a flock of goats and geese. I find it peaceful ... and it would be a nice way to end life.
Tennessee Williams
I always said little Truman had a voice so high it could only be detected by bats.
Tennessee Williams
