The Neighbor Quotes in Blood Wedding
NEIGHBOUR. […] I often think your son and mine are better off where they are, sleeping, resting, no chance of being crippled.
MOTHER. Be quiet. It’s all talk that, but there’s no comfort in it.
NEIGHBOUR. Calm down. What good does it do you?
MOTHER. None. But you understand.
NEIGHBOUR. Don’t stand in the way of your son’s happiness. Don’t tell him anything. You’re an old woman. Me too. You and me, we have to keep quiet.
MOTHER. I won’t say anything.
NEIGHBOUR (kissing her). Nothing.
MOTHER (calmly). Things!...
NEIGHBOUR. I’m going.
Won’t you be quiet? I don’t want weeping in this house. Your tears are tears that come from your eyes, that’s all. But mine will come, when I’m all alone, from the soles of my feet, from my roots, and they’ll burn hotter than blood.
Here. Here’s where I want to be. At peace. All of them are dead now. At midnight I’ll sleep, I’ll sleep and not be afraid of a gun or a knife. Other mothers will go to their windows, lashed by the rain, to see the face of their sons. Not me.
