What is your favorite quote?
I used to be super obsessed with quotes and I even had a blog for quotes specifically before blogging was super popular, so this question is very befitting :D
"I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic! I try to give that to people. I misrepresent things to them. I don't tell the truth, I tell what ought to be the truth. And if that is sinful, then let me be damned for it!" - Blanche DuBois
When I read A Streetcar Named Desire, I couldn't help but empathize with Blanche, because I felt like we were the same. I can never read the play and end it thinking she was crazy - I'm physically incapable of that. Everything about her character can be summarized with that quote. I highly suggest reading it rather than watching the Brando version, because there are key differences between the two, which really do make all the difference <3
