More quotes by Tennessee Williams
Somebody said once or wrote, once: 'We're all of us children in a vast kindergarten trying to spell God's name with the wrong alphabet blocks!
Tennessee Williams
Why did I write? Because I found life unsatisfactory.
Tennessee Williams
An artist must believe in himself - Possibly not so passionately as Lawrence - but passionately. Your belief is contagious. Others say - He is vain - but they are affected.
Tennessee Williams
I gave up visiting my psychoanalyst because he was meddling too much in my private life.
Tennessee Williams
Death is one moment, and life is so many of them.
Tennessee Williams
Vanity, fear, desire, competition - all such distortions within our own egos - condition our vision of those in relation to us. Add to those distortions to our own egos the corresponding distortions in the egos of others, and you see how cloudy the glass must become through which we look at each other.
Tennessee Williams
Everybody is nothing until you love them.
Tennessee Williams
My greatest affliction... is perhaps the major theme of my writings, the affliction of loneliness that follows me like a shadow, a very ponderous shadow too heavy to drag after me all of my days and nights.
Tennessee Williams
When so many are lonely as seem to be lonely, it would be inexcusably selfish to be lonely alone.
Tennessee Williams
Men don't want anything they get too easy. But on the other hand, men lose interest quickly.
Tennessee Williams
Success and failure are equally disastrous.
Tennessee Williams
Mexico is the front door to South America - and the back door to the states.
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
Youth must be wanton, youth must be quick, Dance to the candle while lasteth the wick.
Tennessee Williams
I know I fib a good deal. After all, a woman's charm is fifty per cent illusion, but when a thing is important I tell the truth. - Blanche Scene II
Tennessee Williams
People go to the movies instead of moving.
Tennessee Williams
We all live in a house on fire, no fire department to call no way out, just the upstairs window to look out of while the fire burns the house down with us trapped, locked in it.
Tennessee Williams
Don't you think there is always something unspoken between two people?
Tennessee Williams
Nobody knew my rose of the world but me... I had too much glory. They don't want glory like that in nobody's heart
Tennessee Williams
Go, then! Go to the moon-you selfish dreamer!
Tennessee Williams
