Tennessee Williams
I always said little Truman had a voice so high it could only be detected by bats.
Tennessee Williams
For nowadays the world is lit by lightning! Blow out your candles, Laura -- and so goodbye. . . .
Tennessee Williams
Personal lyricism is the outcry of prisoner to prisoner from the cell in solitary where each is confined for the duration of his life.
Tennessee Williams
I don't ask for your pity, but just your understanding - no, not even that -no. Just for your recognition of me in you, and the enemy, time, in us all.
Tennessee Williams
Youth must be wanton, youth must be quick, Dance to the candle while lasteth the wick.
Tennessee Williams
