"Well, Pa, a woman can change better than a man. A man lives sort of, well, in jerks. Baby's born or somebody dies and that's a jerk. He gets a farm or loses it and that's a jerk. With a woman, it's all in one flow like a stream, little eddies and waterfalls. But the river, it goes right on. Woman looks at it that way."
"Maybe there ain't no sin and there ain't no virtue, there’s just what people does. Some things folks do is nice and some ain't so nice, and that's all any man's got a right to say."
