Rose Quote #150
Quote from Rose in Blind Ambitions
Rose: Well, maybe you're right. But I think I have a good reason to be worried this time. Lily, I think you're trying to do too much by yourself.
Lily: I've never been one to depend on other people, Rose. You know that.
Rose: But this is different. You're not trying out for the track team in high school. You're trying to learn to cope with daily life as a blind person.
Lily: Do you see this dress, Rose? It's my favorite.
Rose: It's awfully pretty.
Lily: It's my favorite because it's the only one I can clearly remember. I remember what it looks like. And I remember what it looks like on me. And because of that, I wear it all the time.
Rose: You will adjust, Lily.
Lily: I don't want to adjust! I want to be the person that I used to be!
Rose: But you have to face the truth. You need help! Now, you can deal with it, but you can't do it all by yourself.
Lily: Rose, all my life I've done everything I wanted to do. Nothing's ever stood in my way before. For the past six months, that's how I've been trying to deal with everything. I thought that I could overcome this thing by myself. I guess that deep down inside, I thought I could make it go away. But I can't. Every morning when I wake up, it's still there. And that terrifies me. Rose, I do need your help. That's why I came to Miami. To ask you to come home with me. Oh, Rose, please come home with me! I can't make it by myself.

Quote from Rose
Rose: Oh, we used to cook outdoors all the time when we were kids. Remember our camping trips, Lily?
Lily: Oh, I sure do. During the summer, our father would take the whole family on camping trips into the wilderness. Of course, it wasn't really the wilderness. He'd drive in circles for about 20 minutes and then end up in the woods just beyond the barn. It was years before all the kids caught on to Dad's trick.
Rose: What do you mean, just beyond the barn?
Quote from Blanche
Dorothy: You know, when I was in college, I taught school part-time at one of those schools for the blind. It is really amazing what they can accomplish.
Lily: Oh, I went to one of those schools for a little while. It's just a lot of talking and hand-holding. Never been so bored in my life. I think I'm just the kind of person that likes to get out there and do it.
Rose: Did you know that my sister Lily still holds the record at our high school for the 100-yard dash? She served three terms on the city council, and she was the first woman in St. Olaf's to ever have a pilot's license.
Blanche: Oh, really? Well, we have something in common, Lily. I was the first woman in my hometown ever to have a pilot.
Dorothy: Blanche's bed is next to the X-15 at the Space and Aviation Museum.
Quote from Blanche
Blanche: Oh, I just love barbecues. We used to have the most wonderful ones back home. I can remember sitting out under a big old tree with the Darcy triplets: Hank, Beau and Dove. Eating and talking and laughing. And then along towards the end of the meal, why, the boys always got into a fight over who was going to get to lick the barbecue sauce from my fingertips and kiss away the little droplet of butter that always drizzled down my chin. Oh, has it gotten awful hot out here?
