The helpless can't help the helpless.
Tennessee Williams
Like a cat on a hot tin roof.
Tennessee Williams
I believe that the silence of God, the absolute speechlessness of Him is a long, long, and awful thing that the whole world is lost because of.
Tennessee Williams
Oh, you weak, beautiful people who give up with such grace. What you need is someone to take hold of you--gently, with love, and hand your life back to you, like something gold you let go of--and I can! I'm determined to do it--and nothing's more determined than a cat on a tin roof--is there?
Tennessee Williams
People go to the movies instead of moving.
Tennessee Williams
Some mystery should be left in the revelation of character in a play, just as a great deal of mystery is always left in the revelation of character in life, even in one's own character to himself.
Tennessee Williams
Openings come quickly, sometimes, like blue space in running clouds. A complete overcast, then a blaze of light.
Tennessee Williams
Why is it so damn hard for people to talk?

Tennessee Williams

Tennessee Williams
I talk out the lines as I write them.
Tennessee Williams
In all these years, you never believed I loved you. And I did. I did so much. I did love you. I even loved your hate and your hardness.
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
In human character, simplicity doesn't exist except among simpletons.
Tennessee Williams
If people behaved in the same way nations do they would all be put in straitjackets.
Tennessee Williams
I can find almost anything funny, thank God, so you search for the black, lacy slip that encases the corpse. You know, shift the angle. God may take away, but he often leaves you with a terrific opening line for the next adventure. I would suggest taking it. Move on change the angle look at it in a different way tomorrow.
Tennessee Williams
Don't you think there is always something unspoken between two people?
Tennessee Williams
William Saroyan wrote a great play on this theme, that purity of heart is the one success worth having. In the time of your life--live! That time is short and it doesn't return again. It is slipping away while I write this and while you read it, and the monosyllable of the clock is Loss, loss, loss, unless you devote your heart to its oppositi
