Girls
Quotes - There is only one creature who is always right is a WOMAN...!!!
“Are
we to deny our daughters the works of Oscar Wilde, Charles Dickens, John
Steinbeck or Shakespeare?....Where is the equality in banning girls from
enjoying wonderful works of literature?....What kind of society defines
suitable reading material by sex? This is indefensible censorship encouraging
ignorance and bias. [About Caitlin Moran's statement.]”

“Nick
spreads cream cheese on my bagel for me because it’s hard to do with one hand.
You need to hold the bagel and everything.
“You
are the nicest boyfriend ever,” I tell him and kiss his cheek.
“Gag,”
Devyn says.
“You’re
just jealous,” Nick teases him and points his plastic knife at Devyn. “Which is
ridiculous because you are the star of the school now that the wheelchair is
totally gone. Everyone is talking about you.”
“Star
of the school?” Devyn asks. He takes a swig of Gatorade.
“All
the girls.” Nick gestures to the girls giggling behind them. “They like
miracles. It’s sexy. Remember how much play Jay Dahlberg got when he came back
from being abducted?” He does not add by pixies because he does not have to.
“Really?”
Devyn does this cheesy and really fake eyebrow wiggle thing so he looks like
some sleezy porn dog.”

“I'll
be fine. It's just hard to love somebody who doesn't love you back,"
Fallon answered.”

“Women
are like shower faucets, you must treat them carefully, because if you do not,
it will either burn your balls or freeze your ass.”

“Imagine,
if you will:
Meradinis!
The
stuff myths are made of! The Turtle Island of the stars – home planet to the
fearsome and once legendary Corsairs. The very name of this world immediately
grabbed the imaginations of young boys and girls, and universally mesmerize
dreamers and romantics alike. The truth though was less romantic – and as
reality so often demonstrates in real life - instead rather ugly and brutal.
The Corsairs were not corn-ball comics that went about with parrots on their
shoulders, saying “Arr!” to everything they encountered. They were anything
but. Behind the Corsairs and their culture lay a history fraught with a
struggle to survive, a vengefulness and a cruelty – and a drive to survive by
preying upon others that struck fear into the hearts of neighboring fringe worlds.”

“Beauty
always made a target of its possessor. Every other human quality was hidden
easily enough --- intelligence, talent, selfishness, even madness --- but
beauty could not be concealed.
"Do
you ever wish you didn't look the way you did?" Anita asked.
"All
the time," Misery said. "I hate the way I look."
[...]
"No,
I didn't mean like that. I just meant---"
"Having
to be afraid," Eliza said.
"Yeah."
No
need to say more. No need to describe all the things you had to do to keep the
eyes away. No need to discuss how hard it was to get the attention of the
person you wanted attention from without being seen as desperate for everyone's
attention. No need to catalog all the walls you had to put up; not just the
walls that protected you from physical danger --- though there were plenty of
those, too --- but the walls you had to build around your heart. They said no
man was an island, and Anita figured that was probably true. But women were;
they had to be. And even if someone bothered to sail over ad disembark, he'd
soon discover that there was always a castle at the center of the island,
surrounded by a deep moat, with a rickety drawbridge and archers manning the
battlements and a big pot of oil poised above the gate, ready to boil alive
anyone who dared to cross the threshold.”

“When
someone shows you how little you mean to them and you keep coming back for
more, before you know it you start to mean less to yourself. You are made up of
compartments! You are one whole person! What gets said to you gets said to all
of you, ditto, what gets done. Being treated like shit is not an amusing game
or a transgressive intellectual experiment. It’s something you accept, condone,
and learn to believe you deserve. This is so simple. But I tried so hard to
make it complicated.”

“Girls
are obsessed with beauty. They make this world beautiful, by being beautiful.”

Toffee, Finding Juliet
“He
was a kind of éminence grise, a political leader, in a clandestine movement.
Everyone knows there are girls who go for that kind of thing. There are girls
who go for Huysmanists, for that matter. I once met a girl -- a pretty,
attractive girl -- who told me she fantasized about Jean-François Copé. It took
me several days to get over it. Really, with girls today, all bets are off.”

Michel Houellebecq, Soumission
“We
were girls in plaid skirts, loud and obnoxious, driving with the windows down.
Capable students, nailing honor roll every year, despite our reputation. We
were good kissers, decent dancers, fast with our hands. Desperate and
dangerous. A little loose, sure. But desirable. Everyone knew. We were the
girls who thought we were nothing if not this: a force, a flame, a million
nerve ends electric with appetite and not afraid.”

“Dex's
mother knew she should be afraid for her daughter. This, she'd been told, was
the tragedy of being a girl. To live in fear–it was the fate of any parent,
maybe, but the special provenance of a mother to a daughter, one woman raising
another, knowing too well what could happen. This was what lurked inside the
luckiest delivery rooms, the ones whose balloons screamed It's a girl!: pink
cigars and flowered onesies and fear.”

“We’re
your daughters, mister. We’re your girlfriends, we’re your sisters, we’re your
precious baby girls. Goddammit, listen.”
