“We women aren't good at hints. We like solid declarations of love and forever.”

“Oh, never and forever aren't for mortals, love. But we won't be parted till I know it's right that we part.”

“Now we really like to put people in boxes. As men, we do it because we don't understand characters that aren't ourselves and we aren't willing to put ourselves in the skin of those characters and women, I think, terrify us. We tend not to write women as human beings. It's cartoons we're making now. And that's a shame.”

“The boys, hearing this declaration, allowed not the slightest hint that they had ever heard anything like it before.”

“I love you. We all do, even if some of us aren't very good at showing it sometimes.”

“Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity.”
