A Streetcar Named Desire

orla matheson 

giuli

BLANCHE: What you are talking about is brutal desire - just -Desirel - the name of that rattle-trap streetcar that bangs through the Quarter, up one old narrow street and down another.. 

STELLA: Haven't you ever ridden on that streetcar? 

BLANCHE: It brought me here.- Where I'm not wanted and where Im ashamed to be...

BLANCHE: Sorrow makes for sincerity, I think. 

BLANCHE: The little there is belongs to people who have experienced some sorrow.
