Girls
Quotes - Southern girls are God's gift
“I've
got two daughters who will have to make their way in this skinny-obsessed
world, and it worries me, because I don't want them to be empty-headed,
self-obsessed, emaciated clones; I'd rather they were independent, interesting,
idealistic, kind, opinionated, original, funny – a thousand things, before
'thin'. And frankly, I'd rather they didn't give a gust of stinking chihuahua
flatulence whether the woman standing next to them has fleshier knees than they
do. Let my girls be Hermiones, rather than Pansy Parkinsons. Let them never be
Stupid Girls.”

J.K. Rowling
“Southern
girls are God's gift to the entire male population. There is absolutely no
woman finer than one raised below the mason-dixon line and once you go southern
may the good Lord help you - you never go back”

“A
girl who travels will need someone that questions her, not too little, and not
too much. She’ll need someone to read her, but also really listen to her.
Because she’ll want to do the same. She’ll want a person that shares an
interest but at the same time stays genuine to who they are. Not drown in a
puddle of narcissism. And not drown in a lake of fascination.”

“We
girls, we're tough, darling. Soft on the outside but, deep down, we're tough.”

Ashley, The Gamble
“I've
had so many bikini waxes, I cry every time I see a Popsicle stick.”

Libba Bray, Beauty Queens
“I'm
not trouble at all. I'm just a guy trying to get a girl to give him the time of
day. I'm like every song on the radio.”

Hailey Abbott, Boy Crazy
“The
advantages of natural folly in a beautiful girl have been already set forth by
the capital pen of a sister author; and to her treatment of the subject I will
only add, in justice to men, that though to the larger and more trifling part
of the sex, imbecility in females is a great enhancement of their personal
charms, there is a portion of them too reasonable and too well informed
themselves to desire anything more in woman than ignorance.”
―
Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey
“She
sighed. Loudly. "Physical appearance is not what is important."
Yeah
right. Tell that to any girl who hasn't bothered to put on a presentable shirt
or fix her hair because she's only running into the grocery store to get a
quart of milk for her grandmother, and who does she see tending the
7-ITEMS-OR-LESS cash register but the guy of her dreams, except she can't even
say hi—much less try to develop a meaningful relationship—since she looks like
the poster child for the terminally geeky.”

“The
handwriting was a girl’s. I mean, you can tell. That enchanted cursive.”

“In
the realm of love and sex, it’s girls who are in the position of working hard
to adapt themselves to the needs and fantasies of the mercurial males whose
approval and attention they seek.”

We Can Do About It
“There
will always be those
who
say you are too young and delicate
to
make anything happen for yourself.
They
don't see the part of you that smolders.
Don't
let their doubting drown out
the
sound of your own heartbeat.
You
are the first drop of rain in a hurricane.
Your
bravery builds beyond you.
You
are needed by all the little girls
still
living in secret, writing oceans
made
of monsters, and
throwing
like lightning.
You
don't need to grow up
to
find greatness.
You
are so much stronger than the world
has
ever believed you could be.
The
world is waiting for you
to set
it on fire. Trust in yourself
and
burn.”

Clementine von Radics, Mouthful of Forevers
“There
was something familiar but strange about her - Snow White with a suntan.
Cinderella in biker boots. Tough and delicate and magical and real all at once.”

“Girls
get under each other's skin. We get too close, too attached, too crazy, and
then we can't let go. Our claws sink too deep. When we separate, we tear each
other apart.”

Leah Raeder, Black Iris
“The
people that truly love us in life don't fight for us to remain a doormat for
others.”

“~Do
you like him much?
~I
told you I like him a little. Where is the use of caring for him so very much?
He is full of faults.
~Is
he?
~All
boys are.
~More
than girls?
~Very
likely. Wise people say it is folly to think anyboy perfect, and as to likes
and diskiles, we should be friendly to all, and worship none.”

Charlotte Brontë, Villette
“Nothing
is as irritating to a shy man as a confident girl.”

“Little
girls are the nicest things that can happen to people. They are born with a bit
of angel-shine about them, and though it wears thin sometimes, there is always
enough left to lasso your heart—even when they are sitting in the mud, or
crying temperamental tears, or parading up the street in Mother’s best clothes.
A
little girl can be sweeter (and badder) oftener than anyone else in the world.
She can jitter around, and stomp, and make funny noises that frazzle your
nerves, yet just when you open your mouth, she stands there demure with that
special look in her eyes. A girl is Innocence playing in the mud, Beauty
standing on its head, and Motherhood dragging a doll by the foot.
God
borrows from many creatures to make a little girl. He uses the song of a bird,
the squeal of a pig, the stubbornness of a mule, the antics of a monkey, the
spryness of a grasshopper, the curiosity of a cat, the speed of a gazelle, the
slyness of a fox, the softness of a kitten, and to top it all off He adds the
mysterious mind of a woman.
A
little girl likes new shoes, party dresses, small animals, first grade,
noisemakers, the girl next door, dolls, make-believe, dancing lessons, ice
cream, kitchens, coloring books, make-up, cans of water, going visiting, tea
parties, and one boy. She doesn’t care so much for visitors, boys in general,
large dogs, hand-me-downs, straight chairs, vegetables, snowsuits, or staying
in the front yard.
She
is loudest when you are thinking, the prettiest when she has provoked you, the
busiest at bedtime, the quietest when you want to show her off, and the most
flirtatious when she absolutely must not get the best of you again. Who else
can cause you more grief, joy, irritation, satisfaction, embarrassment, and
genuine delight than this combination of Eve, Salome, and Florence Nightingale.
She
can muss up your home, your hair, and your dignity—spend your money, your time,
and your patience—and just when your temper is ready to crack, her sunshine
peeks through and you’ve lost again. Yes, she is a nerve-wracking nuisance,
just a noisy bundle of mischief. But when your dreams tumble down and the world
is a mess—when it seems you are pretty much of a fool after all—she can make
you a king when she climbs on your knee and whispers, "I love you best of
all!”
