When I think of how divine it is going to be to have such a thing as privacy once more -- I could weep with joy!
[... ...]
But beauty of the mind and richness of the spirit and tenderness of the heart--and I have all of those things--aren't taken away, but grow. Increase with the years! How strange that I should be called a destitute woman! When I have all of these treasures locked in my heart. [A choked sob comes from her] I think of myself as a very, very rich woman. But I have been foolish--casting my pearls before swine.
Williams, Tennessee. A Streetcar Named Desire Signet Books, 1951. pp.125-6.
