“Ah, Elsa. You got a wrong picture of yourself."
"Even if that is true, what does a person do about it? The things your parents say and the things your husband doesn't say become a mirror, don't they? You see yourself as they see you, and no mater how far you come, you bring that mirror with you."
"Break it", Jean said.
"How?"
"With a gosh dang rock." Jean leaned forward. "I'm a mirror too, Elsa. You remember that.”

“This is how my love for her goes on: in moments remembered and moments imagined. It’s how I keep her alive. Hers is the voice in my head, my conscience. I see the world, at least in part, through her eyes. Her story—which is the story of a time and land and the indomitable will of a people—is my story; two lives woven together, and like any good story, ours will begin and end and begin again. Love is what remains.”
