"Well, Gloria, God loves everyone. Even the bigots." Mrs. Carlton picked up her purse and left. Daddy loved that story."-Connie Schultz, The Daughters of Erietown
"Mr McGraw glared at him. "You don't tell me anything." "In fact, I do," Dr Marino said. "I'm here because Principal McGinty is trying to keep your son safe from diseases that could kill him. That's how much she cares about your little boy." He turned to look at the other parents. "That's how much she cares about all of your children."-Connie Schultz, The Daughters of Erietown
"A woman's world has always revolved around children and other women. At least as long as I've been around, and I'm almost 60." she smoothed the sheet draped across Ellie as she talked, tucking it in around the sides of her body like a cocoon. "Don't get me wrong," she continued. "We love our men, and the idea of a husband is a good thing. What woman wouldn't want that?" Ellie thought of her brave, independent Aunt Nessa, teaching until she was seventy and dying in ehr sleep on a train bound for New Mexico. She'd never wanted to marry, and she was the happiest woman Ellie had ever known. Mrs Drake put the tissue from the box on Ellie's nightstand and blew her nose. "Men need us more than we need them," she said, and then lowered her voice. "Including the doctors around here. They walk around acting like God, but you should see the panic when one of them has to buy a birthday present for his wife. They have no idea what women want." She washed her hands in the small sink in the corner. "That's why we need our women friends. We're with each other from the beginning to the very end, and everything in between. We understand each other. It's instinctual."-Connie Schultz, The Daughters of Erietown
