Quotes by Beth Lewis

One a them rules is dont go trusting another mans path...People do it, they do what their mommies and daddies did, they make them same mistakes, they have them same joys and hurts, they just repeating. Trees dont grow exactly where their momma is; aint no room...I werent following no one up through life.

But I werent no quitter No wolf nor bear just gives up when they get beat or hungry. You ever seen a bear jump off a cliff cause life handed him a few rough draws? No, you havent. The wild keeps going till it dont have strength in its muscles and bones. The wild doesnt give up; its forever, and so was I.

...shiny trinkets and frivolous spending make people forget what world theyre living in.

A man couldnt do what he did. Hes a monster.I laughed. Aint no monster. Monsters aint real cept in kids imaginations, under the beds, in the closets. We live in a world a men and there aint no good come out of tellin them they monsters. Makes em think they aint done nothin wrong, that its their nature and they cant do nothin to change that. Callin em a monster makes em something different from the rest of us, but they aint. They just men, flesh and bone and blood.

You cant admit to someone else what youre too damn afraid to admit to yourself.

I seen women take this kind a help from a man with a look a relief on their faces. I wondered if these women knew how much easier their lives would be if they did all this stuff for themselves.
