Blanche Quote #203

Quote from Blanche in End of the Curse

Dr. Barensfield: Blanche, you have to change your thinking. You have to find all the other things you are, all the other ways you please people. There's a lot more to you than you know.
Blanche: You know, sometimes I look in the mirror and see my mother's face looking at me. Not all the time. Just every now and then, when the light's too bright, or it's too early in the morning, or late ate night, or I look real fast. There it is, my mother's face. It scares me to death. It just scares me to death. I just get so depressed, I don't want to get out of bed in the morning. I don't want to get out of bed ever again.

Sophia: I got it, nobody told me. I didn't get it, nobody told me. I figured, "This is life," and went back to my meatballs.

Quote from Blanche

Blanche: Well, my whole childhood, I kept hearing about the curse. How when I was 13, I was going to get the curse. I was absolutely terrified. The year of my 13th birthday, I slept with the lights on all year. Oh, I was sure there was a witch behind every wisteria. I didn't go out on Halloween. I was a wreck. But the year went by and no curse. Then the next year went by, no curse. Then finally, when I was 15, Mama took me to the doctor because I still didn't have the curse. And he said, "Blanche, do you mean to tell me you still don't have your period?" I said, "Well, of course I have my period, you fool. I'm not a child. I've had my period for almost two years. It's the curse I don't have."
