“Sis rolls her eyes and leads the elderly lady over to the S-shaped tables crammed with silver trays of ham biscuits, pickled shrimp, stuffed mushrooms, venison pate, fruit and cheese in ornately carved-out watermelons, smoked salmon with all the trimmings, sausage balls, and pimento cheese garnished with little cocktail pickles. Sis's mama gets a nibble of shrimp and a ham biscuit and points to another corner of the tent where Richadene's brother, Melvin, is carving a beef tenderloin and serving it on rolls with horseradish and mayonnaise. Next to Melvin, R.L.'s chef friend from Savannah is serving up shrimp and grits in large martini glasses.”

“Sissy Mae Smith...stumbled into the room loaded down with even more bags. "You pack like a woman," she snarled when she finally dropped the luggage to the floor. "How can one man have so much conditioner?" His mouth filled with French toast, Mitch pointed at his hair and snarled, "Tawny mane! Do you think this shit stays this beautiful on its own? It needs care and love! Which is more than I'm getting from you!”

“Sistema 1 vs. sistema 2: duas formas de pensar Vá à rua e pergunte qualquer coisa, todos tem uma opinião sobre tudo na ponta da língua, e acreditam que a opinião não somente é genuína, original, como é verdade, ou próximo da verdade. Isso vai desde assuntos como política, como ciência, tratamentos médicos, como se curar de dor de cabeça e ressaca, câncer e mais. Isso é o sistema 1 em ação. O sistema 1 cria a ilusão de conhecimento e certeza.”

“Sistemele se prăbușeșc pentru că sunt sisteme. Dar tocmai pentru că sunt sisteme, elementele care le alcătuiesc rămân multă vreme fără întrebuințare după năruirea ansamblului ale cărui părți erau. Lipsite de legăturile și de sensul lor, ele întâmpină multe greutăți ca să se organizeze din nou. Nu reuseșc, în realitate, decât constituind noi sisteme, la fel de geniale și la fel de nedrepte ca și cele care le-au precedat - poate ceva mai geniale și ceva mai nedrepte? aceasta-i întrebarea -, dar care, în orice caz, vor fi distruse la rândul lor. E ceea ce denumim istorie în care, ca în acele teorii ale fizicii unde alternează explicațiile de undă cu cele prin corpuscul, se pot citi fără deosebire etapele conștiinței către desăvârșirea sa sau succesiunea nedefinită a formelor, a evoluțiilor și a ciclurilor, mai mult sau mai puțin lipsite de sens, mai bogată în orice caz în iluzii decât în progres.”

“Sister Agnes knew if she told you, you’d run off and do what you’re doing now.” “Search for treasure?” “Get into trouble.” I laughed. Edmund smiled over his shoulder. “I’m serious.” “We shall not get into trouble. I promise.” “If I had a piece of silver for every time you’ve told me that, I’d be a rich man.” “I am not at fault for the decision to roll in poison oak.” “I suppose getting stuck up in the giant sequoia wasn’t your fault either?”

“Sister Eliza R. Snow was given a charge from the prophet Brigham Young to help lift and teach the sisters of the Church. She “taught that individual women could receive inspiration to guide them in their personal lives, their families, and their Church responsibilities. She said: ‘Tell the sisters to go forth and discharge their duties, in humility and faithfulness and the Spirit of God will rest upon them and they will be blest in their labors. Let them seek for wisdom instead of power and they will have all the power they have wisdom to exercise.’”

“Sister is probably the most competitive relationship within the family, but once the sisters are grown, it becomes the strongest relationship.”

“Sister, why do you do that?" "Do what?" "Cage the animals at night?" "Well..." She looked up and out through the barred window before answering me."We don't want to, Jennings, but we have to. You see, the animals that are given to us we have to take care of. If we didn't cage them up in one place, we might lose them, they might get hurt or damaged. It's not the best thing, but it's the only way we have to take care of them." "But if somebody loved one them," I asked, "wouldn't it be a good idea to let them have one? To keep, I mean?" "Yes, it would be. But not everyone would love them and take care of them as you would. I wish I could give them all away tomorrow." She looked at me. There were tears in her eyes. "But I can't. My heart would break if I saw just one of those animals lying by the wayside uncared for, unloved. No, Jennings. It's better if we keep them together.”
