Quotes - Women are no sheep
“I
am no feminist. Even though the term "feminism" is founded upon the
basic principle of gender equality, it possesses its own fundamental gender
bias, which makes it inclined towards the wellbeing of women, over the
wellbeing of the whole society. And if history has shown anything, it is that
such fundamental biases in time corrupt even the most glorious ideas and give
birth to prejudice, bigotry and differentiation.”

“Listen
my dear sister! You only fix something, when it’s broken. And you - are far
from broken. Say to yourself, I am perfect, the way I am. Say to yourself, I am
beautiful the way I am. Say to yourself, those who do not accept me the way I
am, do not deserve me in their life.”

held a job nor did they intend to get one. All they wanted was to live off
their parents’ money for their rest of their lives. What could be better than
that?”

the wine of a woman from heaven is sent,
more
perfect than all that a man can invent.”

Roman Payne, The Love of Europa: Limited Time Edition
“Ô,
the wine of a woman
from
heaven is sent,
more
perfect than all
that
a man can invent.
When
she came to my bed and begged me with sighs
not
to tempt her towards passion nor actions unwise,
I
told her I’d spare her and kissed her closed eyes,
then
unbraided her body of its clothing disguise.
While
our bodies were nude bathed in candlelight fine
I
devoured her mouth, tender lips divine;
and
I drank through her thighs her feminine wine.
Ô,
the wine of a woman
from
heaven is sent,
more
perfect than all
that
a man can invent.”

“Even
without overt sexual abuse, all young women are known to experience a descent
into low self-esteem at puberty, probably as they realize their role as sexual
objects. The highly sensitive girl will sense all the implications even more
and make self-protection a higher priority. Some overeat to become
unattractive, some overstudy or overtrain so they have no free time, some pick
one boy early and hang on to him for protection.”

is, too.”

is a book for anyone who ever underestimated a girl.”

“Someone's
boyfriend died in a rock-climbing accident in Switzerland: everyone gathered
around her, on fire with tragedy. Their dramatic shows up support underpinned
with jealousy- bad luck was rare enough to be glamorous.”

Emma Cline, The Girls
“Boys
often have permission to become men without the forfeiture of their
desirability. And so these men write stories that grasp at girls who are ghosts
twice over: first by being dead and second by being shallow shadows of actual
girls, the assorted fragments of men's aging imaginations rather than the deep
and dimensioned creatures that real girls are.”

“This
oath is the oath we all swear. Not to a god, or a master, or to the Ludu
Achillea...but to our sisters who stand here with us. Our sisters. This is the
oath that binds us all, one to one, all to all, so that we are no longer free.
We belong to each other. We are bound to each other. In swearing to each other,
we free ourselves from the outside world, from the world of men, from those who
would seek to bind us to Fate and that which would make us slaves. We sacrifice
our liberty so that, ultimately, we can be truly free.”
―
Lesley Livingston, The Valiant

pained me to imagine how our twosome appeared to others, marked as those kind

“A
lot of men wonder what a woman wants. The answer is power. There are many ways
to get it, but the easiest way is to tear other girls down. Any girl can play
that game, but there's no way to win, except not to play at all.”
―
Mara Wilson, Where Am I Now?
“I
have this dream that secretly all teenage girls feel exactly like me. And maybe
one day, when we all realize that we all feel the same, we can all stop
pretending to be something we're not.”
