Quotes by Regina Porter (?)

“It’s the little cruelties that get you,” she told him. “Never the big hurts, the pains you can point to, and say, ‘Oh, I see this bruise,’ but the wounds that you can’t even tell are there until one day you are eating a bowl of fennel soup or sunbathing on the deck of the pool and you can’t move, you can’t do anything, because you think, Well, something is dead in me, what has been done to me, and why did I allow this to happen? And now, and now, and now…”

“Nadine's got a mean streak and she loves you too much to leave this world."

"Cousin Julian, I'm not going to even get into the science of that statement."

"See, that's the problem with your generation. You're too cerebral in all the wrong ways.”
