That's what I'm living on now, honey, dreams, dreams of what I used to do.

Remember, if people talk about you behind your back, it only means you are two steps ahead of them.

It's funny, most people can be around someone and they gradually begin to love them and never know exactly when it happened; but Ruth knew the very second it happened to her. When Idgie had grinned at her and tried to hand her that jar of honey, all these feelings that she had been trying to hold back came flooding through her, and it was at that second in time that she knew she loved Idgie with all her heart.

That's what I'm living on now, honey, dreams, dreams of what I used to do.

Dena had always been a loner. She did not feel connected to anything. Or anybody. She felt as if everybody else had come into the world with a set of instructions about how to live and someone had forgotten to give them to her. She had no clue what she was supposed to feel, so she had spent her life faking at being a human being, with no idea how other people felt. What was it like to really love someone? To really fit in or belong somewhere? She was quick, and a good mimic, so she learned at an early age to give the impression of a normal, happy girl, but inside she had always been lonely.

You know, a heart can be broken, but it keeps on beating, just the same.

No matter what you look like, there's somebody who's gonna think you're the handsomest man in the world.
