“La biología nos asegura un lugar en sus vidas, pero igual ansiamos que nos elijan como padres. Que alguna vez digan esta frase tan maravillosamente rara: 'Mi padre fue mi verdadero padre'.”

“I feel sexy,” Parton said. “I like being a woman. If I’d-a been a man, I’d-a probably been a drag queen.”

“Hi ha una nova koiné dels gustos i del sabors, una fruita més dolça i rodona, una fruita que anivella als consumidors que pensen que si tothom té la mateixa poma, ningú no en tindrà cap millor que la seva. El nou comunisme: si les pomes són idèntiques, el consumidor no tindrà dubtes. I, això encara és més important, si els consumidors acaben sent idèntics, les pomes no tindran dubtes a l'hora d'escollir-los a ells, com passa amb els models de cotxe, amb les sèries de televisió o amb la roba. És molt difícil comprar tant sense vendre's una mica cada vegada.”

“En la vida, los destinos están casi siempre separados: quienes comprenden no son los ejecutores, y quienes actúan no comprenden.”

“Oh, I’m a female and I believe that everybody should definitely have their rights,” she said. “I don’t care if you’re Black, white, straight, gay, women, men, whatever. I think everybody that has something to offer should be allowed to give it and be paid for it. But, no, I don’t consider myself a feminist, not in the term that some people do, because I just think we all should be treated with respect.”
Her answer might break your heart if, like me, you speak the language of college-educated activists. But I speak another language, too —poor country— and can attest that as an independent teenager in small-town Kansas who believed women and men should receive equal treatment, I might have given a similar answer. So much of what ails our country now, politically, is that we do not share a common set of definitions.
In the context of her native class, Parton’s gift to young women is not a statement but an example. One wishes for both from a hero. But, if I could only have one of the two, I’d pick the latter.”
