There comes a time in every mother's life when she must give up her son to another woman.

Dandy

Fate. Destiny. Luck. The prisons of man. People pass the time, enjoying the choices life provides--coffee or tea, right or left--as if it matters. We are all just spinning on the wheel. There is but one way to keep off the wheel. It's not youth. It's not beauty or true love. I know how to stay off the wheel. I control my fate. I have survived because I know one must be willing to destroy anyone, anything, even the ones you love, to keep the gods in check.

Elsa

Most people can't take the pain. But not me. Pain don't define me. But I still feel it.

Dell

Sometimes life is just a bleak pool of despair and there ain't nothing you can do about it.

Desiree

[to Maggie] I was an idiot to think I had a chance with a girl like you.

Jimmy

I would rather be boiled in oil than be on television.

Elsa

[to Maggie] I'm not the one you have to worry about, Toots. It's the townies, the cops. Do you have any idea how much they hate us? At best we're tolerated because they're grateful we make them feel normal.

Jimmy

Edward: It is not your talent that renders me speechles. It is your delusional ignorance.
Elsa: Excuse me?
Edward: You are a tattered waste of oxygen who bolsters herself with contempt for others.

Bette: I wonder who you are since we came here.
Dot: I'll tell you who I am. I'm someone will do what it takes. I'm going to work hard, save my money, and find a doctor who will do that surgery.

I ain't crying cause you're telling me I'm gonna die, Doc. I'm crying cause you're the first doctor ever treated me with respect.

Ethel

We're all hopeless, Doc. We're all going to die.

Ethel

I thought I would be good. I thought all I needed was an audience and it would all come together. I'm such a stupid fool.

Bette
