Quotes - A bad girl is a far more dangerous thing than a bad boy
“How
sad it was to realize that sometimes you never got there. That sometimes you
lived a whole life skittering across the surface as the years passed,
unblessed.”
―
Emma Cline
“It's
only that the answers in most stories are boring because they are supplied by
the real world rather than, well, something better. Something more stimulating.
Sit down with the Greeks and the Romans, and the boring answers get more
interesting. Seasons because a girl and a crocus. Death because a girl and an
apple. The moon because a girl keeps driving her daft chariot into the sea.
It's
all down to girls, one way or another.”

“Speaking
of my things, you weren't actually using that darling little study were
you?" she
asked
sweetly.
Her
mate's eyes narrowed. "Why?"
"Because
I am commandeering it for my closet."
"Closet?
My study is over three hundred square feet." His shocked expression was
adorable.
"Good
point. Do you use the library as well?"
He
stared unblinking. "Yes, actually I do."
"Oh
well. I'll need to call in a contractor to remodel the study into functional
wardrobe.”

thing you learn early growing up a girl--people always talk, whatever you do,'

“In
our time women can demonstrate prowess in a thousand ways. Long ago the great
Princess Sun of Ping fought for her father, the August Sovereign. At her
funeral, His Majesty called for the trumpets and drums to be sounded, an honor
reserved for men. My dear, from this day you must dress her as a boy. Give her
an education worthy of her own determination.”

“Memory
is like that. It alters itself so that girls
are
always trapped under the earth, waiting in the dark.”

Catherynne M. Valente, The Melancholy of Mechagirl
“When
girls see women in leadership roles speaking out for what they believe in, they
see it is possible for them, too. Instead of a faraway dream, their aspirations
become real, concrete and achievable. Womanhood starts to look more inviting.”

“That's
stupid." I laughed into his chest. "Boys can't save girls."
"You're right." He kissed my temple. "It's the other way
around.”

Roald Dahl
“sometimes
we are so lonely that we are more ready to fall in love with the concept of a
person than the person in itself. Some people are thirsty for life, while
others are hungry for love - and a girl who travels will know that there have
been people who have fallen in love with her for the wrong reasons”

“What
I hadn't expected was to be blindsided by a history lesson that betrayed every
hard-won experience I'd had as a player and now a coach at the same school I'd
attended. . . Whoever was responsible for sending a championship team into
virtual obscurity was either a serious egomaniac or just plain mean. It stung.
After
all, wasn't the story told at today's funeral the stuff of legacies? Of school
lore passed on to the next class, and the next, building institutional pride as
well as magical identities that made every kid in the state want to play
there?”

Jo Kadlecek, When Girls Became Lions
“Madison
sparkled like the words on her oversized chest. There was glitter embedded in
her eye shadow, in her lip gloss, in her nail polish, hanging from her ears in
shoulder grazing hoops, dangling from her wrists in blingy bracelets. If the
lights went out in the hallway, she could light it up like a human disco ball.”

Danielle Paige, Dorothy Must Die
“A
woman who is praying and a woman who is having fun, they both say " Oh My
God", the only difference is how they pronounce it.”

“I
remember our childhood days
when
life was easy
and
math problems hard.
Mom
would help us with our homework
and
dad was not at home
but
at work.
After
our chores,
we’d
go to the old fort museum
with
clips in our hair and pure joy in our hearts.
You,
sister, wore the bangles
that
you,
brother, got as a prize from the Dentist.
“Why
the bangles?” the Dentist asked,
surprised,
for
boys picked the stickers of cars instead.
“They’re
for my sisters,” you said.
Mom
would treat us to a bottle of Coke,
a
few sips each. Then,
we’d
buy the sweet smelling bread
from
the same white van
and
hand-in-hand,
we’d
walk to our small flat
above
the restaurant.
I
remember our childhood days.
Do
you remember them too?”

“It
had never fully occurred to Jean Louise that she was a girl: her life had been
one of reckless, pummeling activity; fighting, football, climbing, keeping up
with Jem, and besting anyone her own age in any contest requiring physical
prowess.”

Harper Lee
“Nefret
was still pouting when Emerson helped her into the carriage. Emerson did not
observe the pout. He would not have observed it (men being what they are) even
if something had not distracted him.”

Do not weep.”

life.”

Chloe Thurlow, A Girl's Adventures
“And
when had a critical eye ever helped me, really? Nobody likes the girl who
points out all the inherent sexism on The Bachelor. But people are charmed byt
the girl kvelling about nail art, boba tea, and the homeopathic benefits of ayahuasca.”

“I've
been writing poems since I was sixteen. Back then, poems were an obvious
release for all the frustrations and anxieties associated with adolescence.
Mostly, they were a way for me to impress girls, even though I never remember
any girls being impressed.”
