“Most men go from one female to the next. The unworthy ones strut about, pulling you in with falsehoods. Which is probably why Ma fell for a man like Pa. Tate wasn't the only guy who left me. Chase Andrews even talked to me about marriage, but he married someone else. Didn't even tell me; I read it in the paper."
"I'm so sorry. I am, but, Kya, it's not just guys who are unfaithful. I've been duped, dropped, run over a few times myself. Let's face it, a lot of times love doesn't work out. Yet even when it fails, it connects you to others and, in the end, that is all you have, the connections. Look at us; you and I have each other now, and just think, if I have kids and you have kids, well, that's a whole new string of connections. And on it goes. Kya, if you love Tate, take a chance."
Kya thought of Ma's painting of Tate and herself as children, their heads close together, surrounded by pastel flowers and butterflies. Maybe a message from Ma after all.”

“…If getting a man is entirely dependent on the digits showing on your tags, or your scale, then he is certainly not the right one for YOU, not the other way around.”

“It's easy to find the right man. So difficult to make him feel you're the right woman.”

“When I met this man, I thought he was all those things. What I didn't realize is that these quizzes [in lady's magazines] would serve better if they asked what you do NOT want in a partner. [...] Knowing what you don't want is more important than than what you do want, because the reality is, we rarely dream as big for ourselves as the universe can; by knowing what your nos are, you get to the yes, and the yes is bigger that you maybe imagined. It would have served me well to have steered clear of the controlling, manipulative, and violent.”
