In memory everything seems to happen to music.
Life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quickly you hardly catch it going.
Life is an unanswered question, but let’s still believe in the dignity and importance of the question.
Make voyages!—Attempt them! —there’s nothing else.
Mrs. Stone found herself thinking that surely such beauty was a world of its own whose anarchy had a sort of godly license.
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.
Once you fully apprehend the vacuity of a life without struggle you are equipped with the basic means of salvation.
Security is a kind of death.
Snatching the eternal out of the desperately fleeting is the great magic trick of human existence.
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, nascido Thomas Lanier Williams III em 26 de março de 1911, em Columbus, Mississippi, foi um dramaturgo americano celebrado. Suas peças são conhecidas por sua profundidade psicológica, lirismo e exploração de personagens complexos e muitas vezes atormentados. Williams ambientou muitas de suas obras no sul dos Estados Unidos, capturando a atmosfera e as tensões sociais da região. Peças como "The Glass Menagerie" (1944), "A Streetcar Named Desire" (1947), "Summer and Smoke" (1948) e "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" (1955) lhe renderam aclamação crítica, incluindo múltiplos prêmios Pulitzer e Tony Awards. Seus personagens frequentemente lutam contra a solidão, a decadência, a repressão social e a busca por amor e aceitação. Williams também escreveu contos, roteiros de cinema e poesia, deixando um legado duradouro na literatura americana e no teatro mundial.
