No matter how hard you struggle, you will only be disappointed, and you will only be left with death. The only difference is whether you are willing to fall directly to pieces and die, or be pierced through the heart by a sharp, raised object when you hit the ground.

Winter's Bone quotes

  • Gail: [after asking her husband to let her use his truck] He said no.

    Ree: Did you tell him I'd spring for gas?

    Gail: I told him. He still won't.

    Ree: Why not?

    Gail: He never says why not to me, Ree, he just says no.

    Ree: Man, it's so sad to hear you say he won't let you do somethin' and then you *don't* do it.

    Gail: It's different once you're married.

    Ree: It really must be. 'Cause you ain't never used to eat no shit.

  • Ree: He might be hangin' around with Little Arthur and them. You think?

    Teardrop: You don't wanna go around Little Arthur's askin' them people about anything they ain't offered to talk about. That's a real good way to end up et by hogs... or wishin' you was.
