“Forest Gump had it wrong. Life is not a box of chocolate; it's a kaleidoscope. In the flip of a wrist, realities are shredded and the world takes on a totally new shape.”

“If I could have been a cowgirl, I might have never written a word.” ― Carolyn Haines
“Everyone who loves risks losing their heart every minute of every day.” ― Carolyn Haines, Bones To Pick
“You got the this place lookin' like a whore-house." Jitty said.” ― Carolyn Haines
“My rhythm was joined with that of the Mississippi seasons. To change would shift everything inside of me...” ― Carolyn Haines, Them Bones
“Home is where they have to accept you.” ― Carolyn Haines, Them Bones
“Tell me, Sarah Booth, is it your body that's hurt or your heart?""Whatever it is, it'll mend.” ― Carolyn Haines, Crossed Bones
“The quality of light just before dusk on a clear winter day is loaded with poignancy. My mother had called it “the blue hour,” when melancholy slips into a room unnoticed and touches everything with a sprinkling of pain.” ― Carolyn Haines, Them Bones
“Loving the unattainable was safe. That love could never be tested by day-to-day reality.” ― Carolyn Haines, Crossed Bones
“That's one thing I like about you, Sarah Booth. You put your own personal style on a room. I'd call this boudoir pigsty. Yes sir, any man would find this an enticin' little love nest, if he didn't break his neck tryin' to get to the bed.” ― Carolyn Haines, Buried Bones
“…Always believe in miracles, Sarah Booth.” ― Carolyn Haines, Game of Bones
“Tinkie had insisted on, and paid for, the frosted-glass door that said Delaney Detective Agency. Classic noir. The only classy thing about our digs.” ― Carolyn Haines, Bones of a Feather
“The deliberate effort of memory for small detail is a social grace that will take a person far.” ― Carolyn Haines, Them Bones
“Boopsy's Boutique catered to the woman, or man, with money and lots of it. Date dresses ran upward of a thousand dollars, and some of the high-end designer frocks touched five figures. The dresses were exquisite, emblazoned with crystals and pearls, complete with jewel-encrusted shoes to match. Needless to say, it wasn't a place I frequented.” ― Carolyn Haines, Bones on the Bayou
“Tinkie's on the list." "That's ridiculous. She and Enzo were only flirting." "And Oscar showed his ass and then was seen floundering in the bayou where a blow-up sex doll, complete with a death threat, later showed up in front of an entire town."... "Even though they don't have a body, Pret is thinking Enzo's disappearance may prove to be a homicide.” ― Carolyn Haines, Bones on the Bayou
“She's smart and a hard worker." "And?" "A little on the crazy side." Cece inhaled with resignation. "I was overjoyed when the district elected a woman, but Rebecca's half a bubble off plumb.” ― Carolyn Haines, Bones on the Bayou
“My Christmas tree glimmered with lights, ornaments, and tinsel. Though such holiday trimmings weren't in vogue any longer, I loved them. I pulled every box of family decorations from the attic and glamored the tree until it looked like a "fancy woman in a cheap brothel" as my aunt Loulane would say.” ― Carolyn Haines, Bones on the Bayou
“He said,” ― Carolyn Haines, Delta Blues
