“Like the ski resort full of girls hunting for husbands and husbands hunting for girls the situation is not as symmetrical as it might seem.”

“But what truly horsey girls discover in the end is that boyfriends, husbands, children, and careers are the substitute-for horses”

“My mother is convinced that yellow is a happy color and that a happy girl would get a husband.

“Strangely, although the world is already full of fearful things, mortals seems always to hunt for new worries.”

“Right Jo better be happy old maids than unhappy wives or unmaidenly girls running about to find husbands.”

“There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.”

“Some women pray for their daughters to marry good husbands. I pray that my girls will find girlfriends half as loyal and true as the Ya-Yas.”

“Just as every girl should have a husband, preferably her own, so every culture must have its state, preferably its own.”

“It's like hunting cows”

“The girl can look forward to little else than the chance of having a good man for her husband; — a good man, or if her tastes lie in that direction, a rich man.”
