Billie
We all got a past, and we're all better than our worst day.
Violet
Prosper, you are the sky. Everything else is just the weather.
Sandy
Ralph Angel: I just wonder if Darla gets it. Sometimes I just feel like…
Trinh: Okay. I'm sorry, but I'm going to stop you right there. I know we're friends, but we are not 'complain about spouses' friends.
Ralph Angel: Come on.
Trinh: I would not want my husband doing that to me.
Ralph Angel: Man, don't get me wrong. I got one of the best girls in the world. It's just that when it comes to the family legacy and keeping up with all that, I don't know if Darla gets it.
Hollywood: You went outside your marriage to talk about problems with a woman you used to date. Man, any fool can understand how that was going to go bad.
Ralph Angel: It's not like that. She's married. I'm married. I was just venting. She didn't want to hear it anyway.
Violet: Ralph Angel is caught up in his pride. He'll take his head out of his backside soon enough, but you don't need his approval to know that you are smart. Right? You don't need anyone's.
Darla: But I still want it. I’m good at this. I want him to see that.
Violet: You sell yourself short, baby. And I hate to think that I might be part of that. Like I might be one of the people who made you feel that you had to earn your way into this community. And I’m sorry for that. But now is the time to stand tall and know your worth.

Violet
You know, you spend so much time trying to be right that you forget all you have to do is be you.
Chantal
Dominic: I love the way you see the world, and I've spent the last few days worried about losing that.
Nova: What? Why?
Dominic: I can't help but think that there are parts of you that Mo and Chantal will know and I won't.
Nova: Because they're women?
Dominic: Because they've seen sides of you I haven't yet.
Sam, not much has ever been in our favor, never has been, and we are still here. We're still fighting, and we never give up. You should know that by now.
Violet
Nova: Stop thinking and just do.
Billie: I'm going to need you to get a new catchphrase.
Mo: The seeds remember the land they came from.
Nova: My mother used to tell us about how girls would braid rice and okra into their hair when they were stolen from Africa to remember home.
Mo: Yeah, lots of African plants and crops are here in the Americas because of those women.
