Williams Confirmed

Famous quotes containing the words williams and/or confirmed:

“We have to distrust each other. It is our only defence against betrayal.”
—Tennessee Williams (1914–1983)

“Our manners have been corrupted by communication with the saints. Our hymn-books resound with a melodious cursing of God and enduring Him forever. One would say that even the prophets and redeemers had rather consoled the fears than confirmed the hopes of man. There is nowhere recorded a simple and irrepressible satisfaction with the gift of life, any memorable praise of God.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
