• P.L. O'Hara : Don't you love me just a bit?

  Stella : No, I love another.

• Stella : It's been awful. There was this man who seduced me. It wasn't my fault.

  [shouting into the telephone] 

  Stella : I'm learning, Mother! I'm just bending down to tie a shoelace. Everyone else is waiting around the corner.

• Dotty Blundell : What about Desmond Fairchild? What's your estimation of him?

  Stella : He's a cunt.

• Stella : I know other words. Just that no one cares to hear them.

• Stella : But Mr. Potter, you haven't seen me act!

  Meredith Potter : Oh, I rather think I have.

• Meredith Potter : [During rehearsal]  What do you think the play's about, Stella?

  Stella : [pauses]  Love.

  Meredith Potter : I think it's about Time. I think we're all mourners at a funeral procession and that some of us have simply dropped behind to tie a shoelace. Contact with the beloved is suspended, but the dead are still there, so to those who we think we love, just around a dangerous corner, waiting to be caught up with.
