Quotes by Melissa Wiley

“I ain't the kind o' person who turns up her nose at what's served her, just cause it ain't something else. I ate what the Almighty served me, and filled it up just fine. Eat what you're served, child, and season it any way you like. You do that and you'll get along all right.”
― Melissa Wiley, Across the Puddingstone Dam

“One of the perils of a classical education, he often reflected, was a predilection for vocabulary of an obfuscating nature.”
