Broken Trail Quotes

“Livin' out here has changed a lot of things. Suspend the conventions of eastern life. That's probably why you like it so much, Hank. Women plowing land and pannin' for gold. Men sewin' up their own britches, cookin' for themselves. That's well an' find. It's good for the people an' good for the country. But too much? No, sir. Without women an' marriage, wed' all be shot or drunk ourselves to death or died of the clap. No, sir.

“Nephew, there ain't a man alive that can stand up ta the power of that little cooter. The holt it has on a man is unbreakable. It'll bring a strong man ta his knees. Read your history. Look at the kings an' kingdoms that have fallen ta that little split tail.
