In this section/chapter of the Touch, I liked this quote.
“man should be more interested in how you fill his life and not how you fill your bra.”

Richard & Marilyn. Marilyn had a miscarriage
Ironic that she was mad that he couldn’t tell her he didn’t want to marry her but she didn’t tell him about the miscarriage
Love this - man is nothing but an intrusion, and they require too much energy.

Ma’Dear
We knew about eating fresh vegetables from the garden, growing and picking em ourselves. What going to church was, being honest and faithful. Trusting each other. Leaving our front door open. We knew what it was like to starve and get cheated yearly when our crops didn’t add up the way we figured. We suffered together, not separately. These youngsters don’t know about suffering

The author mentions, “holding my stomach in to look its absolute flattest” in the section/chapter about the Touch. I thought this was funny because I’ve held my stomach in for photos

Whew, what did he mean why she was writing her own checks. I’d be ticked off
Twenty-five years ago, Terry McMillan’s refrigerator repairman asked her why she was writing her own check for the repair. Her response, “I need a new assistant,” prompted a chain of events resulting in It Was the Way She Said It: Short Stories, Essays, and Wisdom by Terry McMillan.

This passage from ‘The End’ reminds me of current times.
“In his dream it was worse than the thirties. It had to be. The country was in a big bind, and everybody was freaking scared, almost to the point of leaving. But there was nowhere to go. Everybody was having internal and external problems with other nations. They were all fighting for the same thing. Power. Control. Money.
