Us Girls Quotes

Pale, nervous girls with black-rimmed glasses and blunt-cut hair lolled around on sofas, riffling Penguin Classics provocatively... But it wasn't just intellectual experiences.

We certainly do not want to return to the simplistic duality of home economics classes for girls and wood shop for boys.
- Camille Paglia

No one tells us, girls who don't go on dates, that remembering can be almost as good as what actually happens.
