And I couldn't make fun of her for that dream. It was my dream, too. And Indian boys weren't supposed to dream like that. And white girls from small towns weren't supposed to dream big, either. We were supposed to be happy with our limitations. But there was no way Penelope and I were going to sit still. Nope, we both wanted to fly: - Sherman Alexie If I go into a club now, all the blonde girls leave my corner and all the black girls come into my corner. It's as if I'm racist towards white girls! - Boris Becker To anyone who thinks eating disorders are something rich, bored white girls do to get attention, I bid you bite me. I have frequent, intense, inappropriate outbursts of anger over the lies little girls are told about what is beautiful. - Stacy Pershall

We girls, we're tough, darling. Soft on the outside but, deep down, we're tough. - Kristen Ashley Why should we girls not have the same privileges as men? Why do we police ourselves so stringently- whittling each other down with cutting remarks or holding ourselves back from greatness with a harness woven of fear and shame and longing? If we do not deem ourselves worthy first, how shall we ever ask for more? - Libba Bray No one asks how or what I am doing. They could not care less. We're all looking glasses, we girls, existing only to reflect their images back to them as they'd like to be seen. Hollow vessels of girls to be rinsed of our own ambitions, wants, and opinions, just waiting to be filled with the cool, tepid water of gracious compliance. A fissure forms in the vessel. I'm cracking open. - Libba Bray We're all looking glasses, we girls, existing only to reflect their images back to them as they'd like to be seen. - Libba Bray Around 7 years ol...

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. They were peddling emotional ones, too. For fifty bucks, I learned, you could 'relate without getting close.' For a hundred, a girl would lend you her Bartok records, have dinner, and then let you watch while she had an anxiety attack. - Woody Allen You know in sixth grade, when they made all of us girls go into this other room and watch a video about getting our periods and stuff? I bet while we were gone, the boys were watching a video about how to look at each other in that infuriating way. - Meg Cabot Oh, you mysterious girls, when you are fifty-two we shall find you out; you must come into the open then. If the mouth has fallen sourly yours the blame: all the meanness your youth concealed have been gathering in your face. But the pretty thoughts and sweet ways and dear, forgotten kindnesses l...

I got along better with the guys than with the girls. Only two girls came up to talk to me. Later I found out they were telling their boyfriends, 'If you talk to her, I'll kill you.' It's always rough with that high school thing. - Christina Aguilera Anything for my two girls." David had loved saying "two girls. - Debra Anastasia Don't you two girls have something better to do, like pick out toe lint? (Acheron) - Sherrilyn Kenyon Suz, carrying Savich's plate, the scrambled eggs steaming, stopped to stare after Rachael. 'Isn't this par for the course--a sexy guy with two girls--I'll just bet the little readhead here threatened to whomp the blonde with that cute braid, right?' 'You're very observant, Suz,' Savich said. Sherlock rolled her eyes. - Catherine Coulter I'd never heard of colon cancer. Baseball wasn't even important to me. I have a wife and two girls. That's what was important. The doctors told me a...

The mother was holding a baby, had a stroller with what looked like twin girls around three, and had a five-year-old boy who was running around the shelves with a finger shoved up his nose. I considered warning him that if he fell, he would poke his brain out, but it struck me that losing intelligence was not something he was worried about. - Eileen Cook I frowned. Whenever my folks promised me something, it always turned out to be both more and less than what I had expected. My sisters, for instance. I'd spend nine months carving a fraternal whimmerdoodle, and then Ma gave birth to Maisy and Dotes, twin girls. The New Country looked nice enough, but I bet there was a catch. - Karen Russell

A breath of steam trickles out, filled with the sobs of a grown woman breaking into girl-sized pieces. - Laurie Halse Anderson I'm making a movie about relationships, and I'm surrounded by guys scared of talking to girls. - Judd Apatow Beatrix, do you know what happens to girls who ask such naughty questions?" "They're ravished in haylofts?" she inquired hopefully. - Lisa Kleypas That's enough of that," Jesse said. Next thing I knew, he'd scooped me up. Only instead of carrying me to my bed and setting me down on it all romantically, you know, like guys do to girls in the movies, he just dumped me onto it, so I bounced around and would have fallen off if I hadn't grabbed the edge of the mattress. "Thanks," I said, not quite able to keep all of the sarcasm out of my voice. - Meg Cabot I'm not used to girls, or familiar with their customs. I feel awkward around them, I don't know what to say. I know the unspoken rules o...

The Golden Girls certainly proved that there was a large audience for a show about older women. - Marlo Thomas In Hollywood, you play a mom, and the next thing you know, you're on 'The Golden Girls.' They age you so fast. - Gabrielle Union

I got along better with the guys than with the girls. Only two girls came up to talk to me. Later I found out they were telling their boyfriends, 'If you talk to her, I'll kill you.' It's always rough with that high school thing. - Christina Aguilera I play a lot of Playstation, and always trying to look pretty for the girls. - Freddy Adu she's not pretty, that word is too small. She is not like the girls I used to stare at, all bend and curve and softness. She is small but strong, and her bright eyes demand attention. Looking at her is like waking up. - Veronica Roth ...cool and nonchalant, like none of this mattered anyway. Is that what guys really wanted? Or was it just what the girls thought the guys wanted? - Jodi Picoult A supermodel needed to be able to be on 'Sports Illustrated,' to be able to walk runways, to be able to do beauty ads, to be on covers. And the girls now can no longer be on covers and be in the ads because your actresses have tak...

Watch MTV and you can see what the music scene is like in England. The Spice Girls? Not a lot of creativity in the commercial area. There are still great musicians in England, but not a lot being heard that much. - Jimmy Carl Black Whether I was dancing around the house with headphones on or on stage with the Spice Girls... I learned firsthand that dancing was the key to shedding off the pounds and keeping them off. - Melanie Brown I'm always down for a Spice Girls reunion. I love the Scary hair and platforms. Any time of day or night I'll be there. - Melanie Brown We're all doing different things and some of the girls are mums, so priorities have changed. But I would love to do something with the Spice Girls again. I know we would have an amazing time. - Emma Bunton Just being at home, growing up naturally, and being here now with my video and my music, I think people realize that I was in the Spice Girls 8 years ago. - Emma Bunton A lot of people have been quite sur...

You might be able to send some girls screaming and crying with that 'I'm a happy little sadist' act but I'm not some girls Rourke. I hope your King finds you with your hands all over me. I hope he pulls his fee-fi-fo-fum trick of his and melts your bones too. - Jocelyn Adams SOME GIRLS WEAR PRADA. SOME GIRLS WEAR GLOCK 17 SHORT RECOIL SPRING-LOADED SEMIAUTOMATIC PISTOLS WITH A LOADED CHAMBER INDICATOR AND A NONSLIP GRIP. - T-SHIRT - Darynda Jones It's so dreadful to be poor!" sighed Meg, looking down at her old dress. "I don't think it's fair for some girls to have plenty of pretty things, and other girls nothing at all, - Louisa May Alcott The thing is, some girls think they can actually change guys. And what's funny is that if they actually did change them, they'd get bored. They'd have no challenge left. You just have to give girls some time to think of a new way of doing things, that's all. Some of them will figure it out her...

It is a common phenomenon that just the prettiest girls find it so difficult to get a man. - Heinrich Heine I believe in pink.I believe laughing is the best calorie burner.I believe in kissing,kissing alot!I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong.I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls.I believe that tomorrow is a another day and I believe in miracles. -Audrey Hepburn We all think we're the center of the universe, but we don't exist alone. It's that ripple idea that you cannot touch one thing without affecting another. - Rick Riordan I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles. - Audrey Hepburn I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipsti...

Why are you constantly escorting me places?" I say. "Isn't there a depraved activity you're supposed to be taking part in? Kicking puppies or spying on girls while they change, or something? - Veronica Roth You're so real. You have a bedroom and a brush. All the times I waited for you, I could never picture where you came fromwhat had made you so extraordinarily different. But you made you different." Blake ran his hand along his neck, smiling shyly in her direction. "There are a million girls just like me." Livia almost hated to point that out. "No. There's only you." Blake looked away from her and squinted into the sun. Look at him looking into the sunlight! - Debra Anastasia Join the union, girls, and together say Equal Pay for Equal Work. - Susan B Anthony And Barron is probably rightwe should give this up. Not for the reason he's saying but for the one that's implied. The one about it not being okay to lurk around outs...

Please do not strain yourself, Miss Doyle. I won't have my girls going cross-eyed in the name of art. - Libba Bray Instead of idleness, vanity, or an intellect formed by the spoon-feeding of others, my girls have acquired energy, industry, and independence. - Geraldine Brooks I wish my mother had left me something about how she felt growing up. I wish my grandmother had done the same. I wanted my girls to know me. - Carol Burnett I've raised my girls in a sort of genderless fashion. I mean, I'll take them to get their nails done - I actually love doing that - but I also play ball with them. As a result, my girls are tough and athletic and game for everything. - Harry Connick Jr I like a little fight in my girls." She grinned at him,causing blood to dribble down her chin. "Then you're going to love me. - Kady Cross When 'Desperate Housewives' ends, I think my girls will be about the kindergarten age. I will be so happy to be there for them through...

I read the following: Three local girls arrested in connection with area-wide drug-distribution ring, caught en route to the Collinsville South High Prom. "Your mother thinks we'll have news crews camped on our lawn," He said. I was less concerned about that and more concerned that it was now forever in black and white that we had been dateless for the prom. - Lisa Burstein ...he had a way of taking your hand which made it clear he'd have to be the one to let go." From Alice Hoffman's "Local Girls", pg.102. - Alice Hoffman

She stares at me for a moment, and then she bursts out laughing. "You haven't seen his perfect little wife and his perfect little girls. Believe me, Oliver, I'm not the great love of his life, the one he'll never forget." "You are to me," I say. - Jodi Picoult If you dear little girls would only learn what real beauty is, and not pinch and starve and bleach yourselves out so, you'd save an immense deal of time and money and pain. A happy soul in a healthy body makes the best sort of beauty for man or woman. - Louisa May Alcott Never mind. Little girls shouldn't ask questions,' returned Jo sharply. Now if there is anything mortifying to our feelings when we are young, it is to be told that; and to be bidden to 'run away, dear' is still more trying to us. - Louisa May Alcott ...the little girls wore a grave, troubled expression, as if sorrow was a new experience to them. - Louisa May Alcott I watched them, thinking that little girl...
