More quotes by Tennessee Williams

Tennessee Williams
The violets in the mountains have broken the rocks.
Tennessee Williams
The name of a person you love is more than language.
Tennessee Williams
Nothing human disgusts me unless it's unkind.
Tennessee Williams
Openings come quickly, sometimes, like blue space in running clouds. A complete overcast, then a blaze of light.
Tennessee Williams
Being disappointed is one thing and being discouraged is something else. I am disappointed but I am not discouraged.
Tennessee Williams
You can be young without money but you can't be old without it.
Tennessee Williams
