We are all civilized people, wich means that we are all savages at heart but observing a few amenities of civilized behaviour.
Tennessee Williams
We've had this date with each other from the beginning.
Tennessee Williams
When so many are lonely as seem to be lonely, it would be inexcusably selfish to be lonely alone.
Tennessee Williams
It is, perhaps more than anything else, the arrest of time which has taken place in a completed work of art that gives certain plays their feeling of depth and significance.
Tennessee Williams
There is no pleasure in the world like writing well and going fast.
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
Nothing human disgusts me unless it's unkind.
Tennessee Williams
