“ 'Sugar, aint you ever had no good time?' she said with a bit of sadness in her voice.
'What you mean?' Sugar said,...
'Seems to me that I ain't never see you look up from whatever you were doing and just smile.'
'Just smile? Smile at what? At who?'
'Smile into the air, girl!' she said and waved her arm through the air....you better start, 'cause time is running and a life without good times ain't a life worth having.”
― Bernice McFadden, Sugar

“Sugar ain’t spoiled, she just a little bruised, is all. Bruises can heal and fade away to nothing.”

“Keeping her man well fed and fucked are number one priorities that she can’t slack on because you can never know when a woman dressed to the nines with a blond wig, long legs and a high fat ass that should have been equal to you in almost every way may decide to hop on the first southbound Greyhound and end up looking at you through whispering letters on a dusty storefront window.”
― Bernice L. McFadden, Sugar

“But day in and day out, I’m watching the man I know as my father disappear inside the shell of a man I’ve never met, who doesn’t know me.”
