Debutantes Quotes

• Las chicas duras vienen de New York. Las dulces son de Georgia. Pero nosotras, las chicas de Kentucky, llevamos el fuego y el hielo en la sangre.

• This was solidarity. The debutante having her toenails pedicured - the housewife buying carrots from a pushcart - the bookkeeper who had wanted to be a pianist, but has the excuse of a sister to support - the businessman who hated his business - the worker who hated his work - the intellectual who hated everybody - all were united as brothers in the luxury of common anger that cured boredom and took them out of themselves, and they knew well enough what a blessing it was to be taken out of themselves.
