Famous quotes containing the words williams and/or drive:

    The world is a funny paper read backwards. And that way it isn’t so funny.
    —Tennessee Williams (1914–1983)

    we, outlaws on God’s property,
    Fling out imagination beyond the skies,
    Wishing a tangible good from the unknown.
    And likewise death will drive us from the scene
    With the great flowering world unbroken yet,
    Which we held in idea, a little handful.
    Richard Eberhart (b. 1904)
