Dena had always been a loner. She did not feel connected to anything. Or anybody. She felt as if everybody else had come into the world with a set of instructions about how to live and someone had forgotten to give them to her. She had no clue what she was supposed to feel, so she had spent her life faking at being a human being, with no idea how other people felt. What was it like to really love someone? To really fit in or belong somewhere? She was quick, and a good mimic, so she learned at an early age to give the impression of a normal, happy girl, but inside she had always been lonely.
Remember, if people talk about you behind your back, it only means you are two steps ahead of them.
Don't give up before the miracle happens.
Strangely enough, the first character in Fried Green Tomatoes was the cafe, and the town. I think a place can be as much a character in a novel as the people.
Being a successful person is not necessarily defined by what you have achieved, but by what you have overcome.
I wonder how many people don't get the one they want, but end up with the one they're supposed to be with.
