Tennessee Williams
All pretty girls are a trap, a pretty trap, and men expect them to be.
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
We're all of us guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.
Tennessee Williams
Physical beauty is passing - a transitory possession - but beauty of the mind, richness of the spirit, tenderness of the heart - I have all these things - aren't taken away but grow! Increase with the years!
Tennessee Williams
Hell is yourself and the only redemption is when a person puts himself aside to feel deeply for another person.
Tennessee Williams
