Girls
Quotes - Your personal truth is your gift to the world
“It´s
a funny thing about girls. Every time you mention some guy is strictly a
bastard – very mean, or very conceited and all – and when you mention it to the
girl, she´ll tell you he has an inferiority complex. Maybe he has, but that
still doesn´t keep him from being a bastard, in my opinion. Girls. You never
know what they´re going to think.”
― J.

“I
wanted to pull away, remind him that I was a big girl, a highly trained
operative, a spy - that I'd been training for this mission my entire life, and
I wasn't going to be left on the sidelines. But in the dim space with Zach
pressed tightly against me, only one thought came to mind. I kissed him -
longer and deeper than I ever had before. The school was not watching us this
time. There was nothing playful in the tone. We were just two people kissing as
if for the first time, as if it might be the last.
And
then I broke away. "So," I asked, as if I got kissed like that all
the time (which, believe me, I don't), "where is it you're taking me
again?"
"The
tombs.”

“I
know that your soul is on life support and that you feel lost and like you’re
completely spinning out of control, but you’re finding yourself — here,
tonight… even in this darkness.”

“When
a Wanderess has been caged,
or
perched with her wings clipped,
She
lives like a Stoic,
She
lives most heroic,
smiling
with ruby, moistened lips
once
her cup of Death is welcome sipped.”

“Girls
with their legs crossed, girls with their legs not crossed, girls with terrific
legs, girls with lousy legs, girls that looked like swell girls, girls that
looked like they'd be bitches if you knew them... You figured most of them
would probably marry dopey guys. Guys that always talk about how many miles
they get to a gallon in their goddam cars. Guys that get sore and childish as
hell if you beat them at golf, or even just some stupid game like ping-pong.
Guys that are very mean. Guys that never read books. Guys that are very
boring.”

J.D. Salinger, Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye
“Why,'
I said, quite surprised by my own eloquence in inventing all this stuff, 'it
happens every day. The old old story. Boys and girls fall in love, that is,
they are driven mad and go blind and deaf and see each other not as human
animals with comic noses and bandy legs and voices like frogs, but as angels so
full of shining goodness that like hollow turnips with candles put into them,
they seem miracles of beauty. And the next minute the candles shoot out sparks
and burn their eyes. And they seem to each other like devils, full of spite and
cruelty. And they will drive each other mad unless they have grown some
imagination. Even enough to laugh.”

“Life
was like that when you were fifteen and knobby-kneed and you only had a handful
of choices. Your world was small and cruel and narrow-minded and breathtaking.”

“They're
brainless girls, otherwise they wouldn't be seen dead here. They're pretty,
with ugly, appealing smiles and conversations we can't hear. They breathe smoke
and blow it out, and words drop from their mouths and get crushed to the floor.
Or they get discarded, just to glow with warmth for a moment, for someone else
to tread on later.”

Markus Zusak, Fighting Ruben Wolfe
“You?
Nervous? Man, you've got more balls than any girl I've ever known!'
'You've
known some weird girls, then," I say, raising an eyebrow at him.”

“You've
got the holy trinity of what a girl wants, she said. Cute, smart, funny. I
don't think you realize that.”

“IT
helps to think of the whole development thing as a process; you go in looking
like a girl, and you'll come out at the other end looking like a woman. The
stuff in the middle is just what everyone goes through, it;s almost never much
fun.”

“She
pouted prettily, and he wondered if that was one of the things they taught
wealthy young girls at schools like Miss Porter's. If not, it had been passed
down from one generation to another as carefully as the secret of fire.”

Kristin Hannah, Summer Island
“Sure,
I liked girls but I was always too terrified to speak to them unless we were
arguing or I was calling them stupidos, which was one of my favorite words that
year.”

“Rude
girls are ugly. I don't care how pretty you are. If your personality is ugly
then you’re ugly.”
