"It has been many years since I let a man kiss me... When our lips met, parts of me that I had forgotten existed, thawed out from neglect and rose back to life like when Jesus was resurrected."-Piper Huguley, By Her Own Design: The Story of Ann Lowe, Society's Best-Kept Secret
"The way she had seen me and treated me, was the way we should all see and treat one another. For to be able to see someone, to see them as a human being, to see them for what they can contribute in this world, to be a light, to be a force, or an influence in someone else's life, is all that we need."-Piper Huguley, By Her Own Design: The Story of Ann Lowe, Society's Best-Kept Secret
"For all of my life, ever since I was a little girl, I thought what I wanted was to be at one of these lovely dinner dances. Well. Now that I'm here, It's been marvelous, but I know that the main thing about this is not the dinner and it's not the fashion show, it's that I know that you see me. You see what I've tried to do all of these years."-Piper Huguley, By Her Own Design: The Story of Ann Lowe, Society's Best-Kept Secret
