More quotes by Tennessee Williams
Everyone should know nowadays the unimportance of the photographic in art: that truth, life, or reality is an organic thing which the poetic imagination can represent or suggest, in essence, only through transformation, through changing into other forms than those which were merely present in appearance.
Tennessee Williams
The violets in the mountains have broken the rocks.
Tennessee Williams
Walls are built up between people a hell of a damn sight faster than--broken down.
Tennessee Williams
For there was a conspiracy of dullness in the world, a universal plan to shut out the resurgences of spirit which might interfere with clockwork. Better to keep your elevation unseen until it is higher than strangers' hands can reach to pull you down to their level.
Tennessee Williams
We live on two levels ... the realistic level and the fantastic level, and which is the real one, really?
Tennessee Williams
People are not so dreadful when you know them. That's what you have to remember! And everybody has problems, not just you, but practically everybody has got some problems. You think of yourself as having the only problems, as being the only one who is disappointed. But just look around you and you will see lots of people as disappointed as you are.
Tennessee Williams
There's no better credit card in the world than driving up at a bank door in a Cadillac limousine.
Tennessee Williams
Time doesn't take away from true friendship, nor does separation.
Tennessee Williams
I think that hate is a feeling that can only exist where there is no understanding.
Tennessee Williams
Success is blocked by concentrating on it and planning for it... Success is shy - it won't come out while you're watching.
Tennessee Williams
Like a cat on a hot tin roof.
Tennessee Williams
The helpless can't help the helpless.
Tennessee Williams
Take by surprise and the world gives up resistance.
Tennessee Williams
Men don't want anything they get too easy. But on the other hand, men lose interest quickly.
Tennessee Williams
Personal lyricism is the outcry of prisoner to prisoner from the cell in solitary where each is confined for the duration of his life.
Tennessee Williams
You know, then that the public Somebody you are when you 'have a name' is a fiction created with mirrors and that the only somebody worth being is the solitary and unseen you that existed from your first breath
Tennessee Williams
Mendacity is a system that we live in, declares Brick. Liquor is one way out an'death's the other.
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
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
Hell is yourself and the only redemption is when a person puts himself aside to feel deeply for another person.
Tennessee Williams
