“Southern women see no point in the hard way. Life is hard enough. So we add a little sugar to the sour. Which is not to suggest Southern women are disingenuous cream puffs. Quite the opposite. When you are born into a history as loaded as the South’s, when you carry in your bones the incontrovertible knowledge of man’s violence and limitations, daring to stay sweet is about the most radical thing you can do.”

“Southern women can say more with a cut of their eyes than a whole debate club’s worth of speeches.”

“Decisions can be like car accidents, sudden and full of consequences.”
