Southern Lady Sayings

#1. Most of us need a good ride on the Sin Wagon, and if I were to meet a man who was better looking than say, Yoda, I might treat him to some Serta hospitality. I'd like to have said this to Mama but could not because she is certain that a real Southern lady doesn't enjoy the business at hand.

Susan Reinhardt

#2. I could not imagine the kind of person that would, upon seeing a crazy talcum-powder-covered Southern lady think to herself, Hmmmm, she might make a great new friend. The line between normal and crazy seemed impossibly thin.

Augusten Burroughs

#3. I'm a Southern lady that almost never leaves the house without makeup on.

Ginnifer Goodwin

#4. A true southern lady can out manipulate General Lee when it comes to revenge.

Liliana Hart

#5. I'm not a southern lady, I'm from Pennsylvania and we speak sort of correctly there. People identify me that way and they also easily identify me on the street because of my short stature. I get picked out in many ways and no way is a burden.

Zelda Rubinstein

#6. Desire of praise disposeth to laudable actions.

Thomas Hobbes

#7. The tiny seed knew that in order to grow, it needed to be dropped in dirt, covered in darkness, struggle to reach the light.

#8. He had this old southern idea of what a lady should be. A lady should not carry a gun and spend most of her time covered in blood and corpses. I had two words for that attitude.
Yeah, those are the words.

Laurell K. Hamilton

#9. Some teachers had been trained to work out at Southern because I carried two out there. I carried a lady down here from Palmer's Crossing, used to play piano, and Billy Carter.

Charles Phillips

#10. Do you ever find yourself bursting into a sort of lunatic laughter at the sheer prettiness of things?

Beverley Nichols

#11. I was once again, Miss Alexandria Charles Montague Collins, the flawless proper lady, pretentious to the help, and people pleaser - the well-bred Southern belle who wore the mask of perfection because no one wanted to see the truth underneath.

Aleatha Romig

#12. Any one must see at a glance that if men and women marry those whom they do not love, they must love those whom they do not marry.

Harriet Martineau

#13. Now, now. Southern ladies don't French-kiss and tell.

Susan Elizabeth Phillips

#14. The Episcopalian ideal of a gentleman is a man who, if a lady falls down drunk, will pick her up off the floor and freshen up her drink. You practically have to be on the list for your second liver transplant before a Southern Episcopalian notices that you drink too much.

Charlotte Hays

#15. What drives me is what I'm putting out into the world, and I like to make films that people can connect to, or they can escape in.

Cameron Diaz

#16. I think I may have a future as a disembodied head.

#18. Property damage is so much easier to live with than murder.
