More quotes by Tennessee Williams
I know all about the tyranny of women.
Tennessee Williams
I'm not in sympathy with Communism except for populations which are in a state of peasantry, actually hungry and starving. The ideal state for me is some form of Socialism, which doesn't yet exist, as far as I know, which doesn't repress the arts, or any race. Consequently I'm not a political person ... except that I'm a revolutionary.
Tennessee Williams

Tennessee Williams
I talk out the lines as I write them.
Tennessee Williams
We've had this date with each other from the beginning.
Tennessee Williams
The work of a writer, his continuing work, depends for breath of life on a certain privacy of heart.

Tennessee Williams
Take by surprise and the world gives up resistance.
Tennessee Williams
A man, when he burns, leaves only a handful of ashes. No woman can hold him. The wind must blow him away.
Tennessee Williams
People go to the movies instead of moving.
Tennessee Williams
In memory everything seems to happen to music.
Tennessee Williams
You can be young without money but you can't be old without it.
Tennessee Williams
Once you fully apprehend the vacuity of a life without struggle, you are equipped with the basic means of salvation.
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
Animals have sections in their stomachs which enable them to digest food without mastication, but human beings are supposed to chew their food before they swallow it down... So chew your food and give your salivary glands a chance to function!
Tennessee Williams
What is straight? A line can be straight, or a street, but the human heart, oh, no, it's curved like a road through mountains.
Tennessee Williams
The name of a person you love is more than language.
