"Be comfortable." That's my motto, where I come from.

Don't you love these long, rainy afternoons in New Orleans... when an hour isn't just an hour... but a little piece of eternity dropped in our hands... and who knows what to do with it?

And then... the searchlight which had been turned on the world... was turned off again. And never... for one moment since, has there been any light stronger than... than this... yellow lantern.

Oh, how pretty the sky is. I ought to go there on a rocket... that never comes down.

Sincerity

Sorrow

And do you know what I say? Ha, ha! Do you hear me? Ha, ha, ha!

Stanley Kowalski

Don't you ever talk that way to me. 'Pig,' 'Pollack,' 'disgusting,' 'vulgar,' 'greasy.' Those kind of words have been on your tongue and your sister's tongue just too much around here. What do you think you are? A pair of queens? Now just remember what Huey Long said — that every man's a king — and I'm the King around here, and don't you forget it.

Stanley Kowalski

And everybody else in the town of Auriol knows all about her. She's as famous in Auriol as if she was the president of the United States... only she's not respected by any party.

Stanley Kowalski

"And if God choose... I shall but love thee better after death."

Blanche DuBois

Love

— Oh, he's on the road a good deal.
— Oh, he travels? Good. I mean, isn't it?
— I can hardly stand it when he's away for a night. When he's away for a week, I nearly go wild. When he comes back... I cry in his lap like a baby.
— I guess that's what's meant by being in love.

Love

I do misrepresent things, I don't tell truth. I tell what ought to be truth and if that is sinful, then let me be punished for it.
