Mendacity is a system that we live in, declares Brick. Liquor is one way out an'death's the other.
Tennessee Williams
I don't have an audience in mind when I write. I'm writing mainly for myself. After a long devotion to playwriting I have a good inner ear.

Tennessee Williams

The right condition for him is that in which his work in not only convenient but unavoidable.
Tennessee Williams
I don't mean what other people mean when they speak of a home, because I don't regard a home as a...well, as a place, a building...a house...of wood, bricks, stone. I think of a home as being a thing that two people have between them in which each can...well, nest.
Tennessee Williams
Death is one moment, and life is so many of them.
Tennessee Williams
Don't you just love these long rainy afternoons in New Orleans when an hour isn't just an hour — but a little bit of eternity dropped in your hands — and who knows what to do with it?
Tennessee Williams

Tennessee Williams
