"We are all sentenced to solitary confinement inside our own skins, for life." ― Tennessee Williams Topic(s): Life More From Tennessee Williams "The violets in the mountains have broken the rocks." "I have always been pushed by the negative. The apparent failure of a play sends me back to my typewriter that very night, before the reviews are out. I am more compelled to get back to work than if I had a success." "All of us are guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress." More In Life "There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures."― William Shakespeare "For the happiest life, days should be rigorously planned, nights left open to chance."― Mignon McLaughlin "Do every act of your life as if it were your last."― Marcus Aurelius
