Heart of Gold
“Your sweetness is so much stronger than their hate.” ― Beverly Jenkins, Forbidden
“Who're you supposed to be, Creflo Dollar's Mini-Me?” ― Beverly Jenkins
“Because we can’t tell others about our accomplishments if we don’t know them ourselves.” ― Beverly Jenkins, The Edge of Midnight
“You are the contrariest woman I have ever met." Hester snorted. "Contrariest. What kind of word is contrariest. French?" He grinned. "Be careful baby girl, I bite. I'll give you more French than you'll know what to do with.” ― Beverly Jenkins, Indigo
“You always this combative, Miss Wyatt?" "Not as a rule, no." "That's too bad. A combative woman is usually a passionate woman,” ― Beverly Jenkins, Indigo
“Hester thought about the political upheaval gripping the country and said, "These are serious times." "Yes, they are, which is why it's important to seek out humor and beauty whenever possible. If we don't, we'll all be buried beneath the weight of the misery.” ― Beverly Jenkins, Indigo
“Carry on, please. Women don’t usually take a skillet to his head and I’m anxious to witness it,” ― Beverly Jenkins, Forbidden
“There were undoubtedly worse things than being an unmarried woman in charge of her own life, free to come and go as she pleased, free to explore pleasure.” ― Beverly Jenkins, Rebel
“Pirate thoughts.” ― Beverly Jenkins, Rebel
“Sheriff, I’m wanted everywhere—but not by the law.” ― Beverly Jenkins, A Chance at Love
“all females, regardless of age, race, or circumstances, should always be plotting rebellion to better the state of women.” ― Beverly Jenkins, Vivid
“...I enjoyed our times together, but it was a business arrangement, nothing more." Val realized how naive she was. Shen never considered a man's arrangement with a mistress might be viewed so dispassionately...” ― Beverly Jenkins, Rebel
“She dearly hoped her gender would not be a problem because she did not have the time to educate a man on the fine points of what a woman of the nineteenth century could achieve.” ― Beverly Jenkins, Topaz
“Why do men want unmarried women to be so ignorant?” ― Beverly Jenkins, Rebel
“The bloodthirsty killers were the men who gunned down the Cheyenne children and women, then returned to mutilate the bodies and set the village on fire.” ― Beverly Jenkins, Rebel
“Some do, but the big cattle ranchers don’t. They own the land now and it’s made them rich. They don’t care if the tribes are fenced in, starving, and destitute, as long as they can ship their beef.” ― Beverly Jenkins, Rebel
“Had the Army been helpful, maybe the murderer wouldn’t be wherever he was taken.” ― Beverly Jenkins, Rebel
“Someone has to champion us if the government won’t. During the Draft Riots back home, mobs attacked members of the race all over the city. They even burned down a Colored orphanage. Those who hate us have no shame, and if dragging them from their houses teaches them a lesson, I’m all for dragging them out every night until they learn.” ― Beverly Jenkins, Rebel
