Kathryn Stockett Quotes About Eyes

• Oh, it was delicious to have someone to keep secrets with. If I'd had a sister or a brother closer in age, I guessed that's what it would be like. But it wasn't just smoking or skirting around Mother. It was having someone look at you after your mother has nearly fretted herself to death because you are freakishly tall and frizzy and odd. Someone whose eyes simply said, without words, You are fine with me.

Los tiesos pelos rubios de sus mejillas y barbilla parecían crecer ante mis ojos. Olía a almidón. A pino. Su nariz no era tan puntiaguda después de todo. ...Y de la nada, me besó. En pleno restaurante del hotel Robert E. Lee, me besó tan despacio, con la boca abierta, que cada parte de mi cuerpo -mi piel, mi clavícula, el hueco de mis rodillas, todo dentro de mí- se llenó de luz.

• I look deep into her rich brown eyes and she look into mine. Law, she got old-soul eyes, like she done lived a thousand years. And I swear I see, down inside, the woman she gone grow up to be. She is tall and straight. She is proud. She got a better haircut. And she is remembering the words I put in her head. Remembering as a full-grown woman.
