Quotes 

• Nacha : You will be so beautiful that the first boy who sees you will want to marry you.

  Mamá Elena : Nacha! Don't say that. As my youngest daughter, Tita will care for me until the day I die. She won't marry.

• Tita : In my opinion, it's not fair.

  Mamá Elena : You don't have an opinion and that's it.

• Mamá Elena : I have never needed a man for anything. I managed the ranch and my daughters by myself. Besides, men are not so important for living with, Father. And the revolution is not as dangerous as they say. It's worse to have chilis and no water.

• Mamá Elena : Sit down and keep working! And no tears!

• Mamá Elena : What are you thinking about, stupid little girl? Save your tears for when I die.

• Mamá Elena : Poor child. I hope he is in heaven with God. We can't let sorrow take over. There is a lot of work to do.

• Mamá Elena : Why are you crying, child? It drives me crazy seeing you crying.
