“You're a quiet, beautiful woman in a loud, ugly place. An orchid among weeds. You define obvious.”
“A woman who cannot be ugly is not beautiful.”
“She thought of the orchids spreading across the plains below, choking the life out of other plants, out of the soil itself, selfish and unstoppable. Tally Youngblood was a weed. And, unlike the orchids, she wasn't even a pretty one.”
“When you judge a woman by her appearance, it doesn't define her, it defines you. Ladies, never allow yourself to be defined by someone's inability to appreciate your unique beauty.”
“So what if you're plain? Anyone can like a beautiful woman or a handsome man. That's easy. But power is the ability to inspire attraction without the obvious.”
“It is better to be first with an ugly woman than the hundreth with a beauty.”
