A gentle young woman
Initial stage directions of Blanche

You'd better give me some money.

Her face is serene [...] almost narcotised tranquility

I was - sort of - thrilled by it.

Stella about sex resolving problems
There are things that happen between a man and a woman in the dark - that sort of make everything else seem - unimportant.

That's much more practical!
Blanche about prostitution
Put on soft colours, the colours of butterfly wings, and glow - make a little - temporary magic just in order to pay for - one night's shelter!
Blanche about male sexuality
Men don't even - admit your existence unless they are making love to you.
Blanche storm metaphor
I've run for protection, Stella, from under one leaky roof to another leaky roof - because it was storm- all storm, and I was - caught in the centre.
Blanche about why she wants Mitch
I want to rest! I want to breathe quietly again!
Blanche kissing the young boy
I want to kiss you - just once - softly and sweetly on your mouth
Blanche about being single
A single girl, a girl alone in the world, has got to keep a firm hold on her emotions or she'll be lost!

Dame Blanche
Blanche on coping by using sex
After the death of Allen, intimacies with strangers is all I seemed able to fill my empty heart with...
Stella on why she chose to disbelieve Blanche
I couldn't believe her story and go on living with Stanley.
Blanche's final line
I have always depended on the kindness of strangers
