"Maybe I should get pregnant and then I’d have more energy."
"If I’d asked, would it have done me any good?"
"I don’t know, but there’s got to be an answer. All I have to do is find out what it is."

"It's usually a wasted trip, but we have to keep on trying. That's one thing I’m sure of. Rhonda didn’t deserve to die violently. We have to find her killer and punish him."
"People who think small-town life is boring ought to move to Lake Eden!"
"It’s true. I can put jam in any kind of glass container if you seal it with wax on the top."
