Youth Quotes in The Price of Salt, or Carol

The older women are condescending toward Therese. We're not sure why she wants to hang out with them because they often say rude things to her.

Here is another rude thing said to Therese, this time by Carol. Carol eventually listens to Therese in the end, but she acts like a stodgy old broad first before accepting that Therese, although young, still has knowledge.

Carol is right here when talking to Therese, and this recalls the earlier quote about Therese not wanting to clean up after herself. She wants to do whatever she wants without any regard for others, and Therese doesn't exactly grow out of that during the book.
