How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
Nowadays our mothers act like friendship is an elective—falling somewhere down the list after husbands, children, career, home, money. (Prologue.17)
Carmen thinks nothing is more important than friendship—and at the age of fifteen, she's probably right. But a part of her realizes that as she changes, her friendships might change as well. That's why the Pants are so important.
Quote #2
Sometimes it seems like we're so close we form one single complete person rather than four separate ones. (Prologue.19)
Wow—these girls are really close. So though it defies logic that one item of clothing fits all four girls so perfectly, since the pants represent their friendship, it makes perfect sense. These girls are almost one and the same.
Quote #3
You know what the secret is? It's so simple. We love one another. We're nice to one another. (Prologue.8)
While some girls are downright nasty to each other, these girls are just the opposite. They are each other's biggest fans, and they want the best for one another. How nice is that? There is no secret—or magic, as they like to call it—to their friendship. It's just unconditional love.
