S. B. Reed

“women are judged differently and it’s not fair.””

“Do you know what it means to love an outlaw? That’s what I am, B. It’s what I will always be, tomorrow, twenty years from today, when I’m old and arthritic and can’t ride no more. I’ve always tried to be a gentleman like my grandma raised me to be where you are concerned. But you were willing to go out and get yourself killed for me. So I think it’s past time I introduce you to the outlaw.””

“Just because you know the truth of things, it’s impossible to snap your fingers and make patterns of behavior disappear. Logic and reason are woeful in the face of deeply ingrained feelings.””
