Reina Quotes

“You cannot make this world respect you. You cannot make it dignify you. It will never bend to you. This world does not belong to you, Reina Mori, you belong to it, and perhaps when it is ready for a revolution it will look to you for leadership.”

“Reina sounds awesome,” Sid says. “I’m digging her more and more.”

“Were you there?” I ask. “Have you seen one of these movies?”

“No,” Scottie says.

“Scottie,” Alex says, kicking Sid in the ribs. “Reina is a fuckedup ho bag, and you need to stay away from her. I’ve already told you that. Do you want to end up like me?”

“Yes,” Scottie says.

“I mean the earlier me, when I was yelling at Mom.”

“No,” Scottie says.

“Well, Reina is going to be a crackhead, and she’s going to get used. She’s a twat. Say it.”

“Twat,” Scottie says. She gets up and runs across the room, saying, “Twat twat twat twat twat.”

“Holy shit,” Sid says. “This is some messed-up parenting. Isn’t it?”

Alex shrugs. “Maybe. I guess we’ll see.”

“I don’t get it,” I say. “I don’t know what to do. These things she does, they keep happening.”

“It will go away,” Alex says.

“Will it? I mean, look at how you kids talk. In front of me, especially. It’s like you don’t respect authority.”

The kids stare at the television. I tell them to get out. I’m going to bed.”

“Yo tenía aspecto de chico. Me identificaba con ser un hombre en términos de querer ganar y liderar, y siempre sentí que los chicos tenían más privilegios, en especial en los países latinos. Sólo pensar en convertirme en una reina de belleza toda emperifollada, con peinados extravagantes y maquillaje, me fastidiaba.”
― Patricia Velásquez, Straight Walk: A Supermodel's Journey to Finding Her Truth

“Deja de pensar como una princesa y sé una reina.”
― Jessica Khoury, The Forbidden Wish
