“Distinguish yourself [...] in an age where girls often make themselves too available to boys, by making him work a little for your attention. He'll think he's won a prize when he gets it, and he'll work that much harder to keep it. Boys turn into men and men put a premium on what's hard to get.”

“But until we are old ladies- a cypress age, a Sawtooth age- I will continue to link arms with her, in public, in private, in a panic of love.”

“You don't put your life into your books, you find it there.”

“No boys, No problem.. they are all the samee!”

“turn off your television and read a book!”

“You're one connection away from being able to change your life.”
