"Evelyn Couch, how can you say that, you are stilla young woman. Forty-eight years old is just a baby!
You‘ve got half your life left to live yet! Mary Kaydoesn‘t care how old you are. She‘s no spring chickenherself. Now, if it was me and I had that skin and wasyour age, I‘d make a try at that Cadillac. Of course, I‘dhave to get me a driver‘s license, but I‘d try for it any-way. - P211
"Oh, at first I was afraid Cleo wasn‘t the right one,
and I cried to Momma Threadgoode that I thought I hadmarried the wrong man. Momma said not to worry, thatI would learn to love him." She turned to Evelyn. "I justwonder how many people never get the one they want,
and wind up with the one they‘re supposed to be with.
Anyhow, when I look back on all the years of happinessThad with Cleo and I think that I could have turned him away, it just makes me shudder. - P137
honey, I‘ve buried my share, and each one hurt as bad as the last one. ered the last one. And there have been timeswhen I‘ve wondered why the good Lord handed me so many sorrowful burdens, to the point where I thought I
just couldn‘t stand it one more day. But
He only gives you what youcan handle and no more ... and I‘ll tell you this: Youain‘t dwell on sadness, oh, it‘ll make you
sick faster than anything in this world."
