Tennessee Williams słynne cytaty

„Modlitwa za dzikich w sercu, trzymanych w klatce.”

A prayer for the wild at heart, kept in cages. (ang.)

„Kiedy godzina nie jest jedynie godziną, ale odrobiną wieczności upuszczoną w twoje ręce – i kto wie co z nią zrobić?”

When an hour isn't just an hour – but a little piece of eternity dropped into your hands – and who knows what to do with it? (ang. )

„Wszyscy żyjemy w palącym się domu. Bez straży pożarnej. Bez możliwości wyjścia. Tylko z oknem na górze, z którego możemy spoglądać, jak pali się dom, wraz z nami, zamkniętymi w nim.”

We all live in a house of 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. (ang.)

Tom, Scene Seven
Źródło: The Glass Menagerie (1944)
Kontekst: Oh, Laura, Laura, I tried to leave you behind me, but I am more faithful than I intended to be! I reach for a cigarette, I cross the street, I run into the movies or a bar, I buy a drink, I speak to the nearest stranger — anything that can blow your candles out! — for nowadays the world is lit by lightning! Blow out your candles Laura — and so goodbye…
