Thomas Lanier Williams III , más conocido por el nombre artístico Tennessee Williams, fue un destacado dramaturgo estadounidense. El nombre «Tennessee» se lo dieron sus compañeros de escuela a causa de su acento sureño y al origen de su familia. En 1948 ganó el Premio Pulitzer de teatro por Un tranvía llamado Deseo, y en 1955 por La gata sobre el tejado de zinc. Además de estas dos obras recibieron el premio de la Crítica Teatral de Nueva York: El zoo de cristal y La noche de la iguana . Su obra de 1952 La rosa tatuada recibió el Premio Tony a la mejor obra. Los críticos del género sostienen que Williams escribía en estilo gótico sureño. Es conocido mundialmente porque muchas de sus obras han sido filmadas. Wikipedia

Tennessee Williams: Frases en inglés

“I'm tired of the movies and I am about to move!”

Tennessee Williams El zoo de cristal

Tom, Scene Six
The Glass Menagerie (1944)
Contexto: Yes, movies! Look at them — All of those glamorous people — having adventures — hogging it all, gobbling the whole thing up! You know what happens? People go to the movies instead of moving! Hollywood characters are supposed to have all the adventures for everybody in America, while everybody in America sits in a dark room and watches them have them! Yes, until there's a war. That's when adventure becomes available to the masses! Everyone's dish, not only Gable's! Then the people in the dark room come out of the dark room to have some adventures themselves — Goody, goody! — It's our turn now, to go to the south Sea Island — to make a safari — to be exotic, far-off! — But I'm not patient. I don't want to wait till then. I'm tired of the movies and I am about to move!

“Revolution only needs good dreamers who remember their dreams.”

Tennessee Williams Camino Real

Camino Real (1953)
Contexto: You said, "They're harmless dreamers and they're loved by the people." — "What," I asked you, "is harmless about a dreamer, and what," I asked you, "is harmless about the love of the people? — Revolution only needs good dreamers who remember their dreams."

“I think that moral earnestness is a good thing for any times, but particularly for these times.”

Program notes for a Pasadena Playhouse production of Stairs to the Roof (1947)
Contexto: When I look back at Stairs to the Roof... I see its faults very plainly, as plainly as you may see them, but still I do not feel apologetic about this play. Unskilled and awkward as I was at this initial period of my playwriting, I certainly had a moral earnestness which I cannot boast of today, and I think that moral earnestness is a good thing for any times, but particularly for these times. I wish I still had the idealistic passion of Benjamin Murphy! You may smile as I do at the sometimes sophomoric aspect of his excitement, but I hope you will respect, as I do, the purity of his feeling and the honest concern which he had in his heart for the basic problem of mankind, which is to dignify our lives with a certain freedom.

“Why you're not crippled, you just have a little defect — hardly noticeable, even!”

Tennessee Williams El zoo de cristal

Amanda, Scene Two
The Glass Menagerie (1944)
Contexto: Why you're not crippled, you just have a little defect — hardly noticeable, even! When people have some slight disadvantage like that, they cultivate other things to make up for it — develop charm — and vivacity — and — charm!

“Deliberate cruelty is unforgivable.

--Blanche Dubois”

“I don't want realism. I want magic!”

Tennessee Williams Un tranvía llamado Deseo

Fuente: A Streetcar Named Desire

“The scene is memory and is therefore nonrealistic. Memory takes a lot of poetic license. It omits some details; others are exaggerated, according to the emotional value of the articles it touches, for memory is seated predominantly in the heart.”

Tennessee Williams El zoo de cristal

Variante: Memory takes a lot of poetic licence. It omits some details; others are exaggerated, according to the emotional value of the articles it touches, for memory is seated predominantly in the heart. The interior is therefore rather dim and poetic.
