“So how do you know when the boy's perfect for you?' Dulcie askedBetty gave her a tender look. 'You'll just know. That sounds vague, I know, but it's true.”

“I know it’s stupid, but I’m just so crazy in love with her I wanted everyone to know it. To see how lucky I am. To brag that this…perfect woman is mine. That she picked me. That she loves me.” “What do you care that the whole world knows that?” Colt said. “Jeez, Carter, the only important thing is you know.” Colby and Cord both gave Colt an odd look.”

“True perfection has to be imperfect. I know that sounds foolish, but it's true.”

“The next time that boy pursues you, he better do it like a dying man looking for water in a desert. When it's the right guy, you'll know, because he'll cherish you.”

“You think you know how you'll react to anything and then a boy shows up and kisses you, and some of that just vanishes.”

“People make mistakes; they do the wrong things. Sometimes they're annoying. Sometimes they're awful. (That's true for me, too, by the way.)So how do you know when it's time to give up? And do you know when to hang in there? I guess you don't really. You just make your choices and hope for the best.”
