1 " One is not born a woman, one becomes one. "
― Eric Jerome Dickey , Friends and Lovers
2 " I told Chiquita if a man hadn’t made a date with her for a Saturday night before Saturday night, he didn’t want to be bothered with her on a Saturday night. "
3 " Chiquita was dancing with a brother who was so old I’d bet he used to baby-sit God. "
4 " I read this book, it said a woman should think of her virginity like it’s a window. And every time you sleep with a guy, it’s like letting him put his fingerprints on your window. Staining your glass. "
5 " I opened my purse, shifted through panty shields, bills, and birth control pills—I call them poppa-stoppas—and took out my menstrual calendar. "
6 " If I was going to date anybody, I had to see how they were living first. "
7 " He was old enough to know you can’t make people love you. But I suppose when you’re wounded, logic ain’t logical. "
8 " A man won’t buy the cow when he can get the milk for free” phrase my momma used to say has popped into my head one, maybe two million times "
