He was a boy, just a boy, when I was a very young girl. When I was sixteen, I made the discovery–love. All at once and much, much too completely. It was like you suddenly turned a blinding light on something that had always been half in shadow, that’s how it struck the world for me.

Williams, Tennessee. A Streetcar Named Desire Signet Books, 1951, pp.95-6.
