“Something strange is happening to me: I find myself becoming lighter and less cynical. People use sarcasm and I don’t immediately pick up on it, because I don’t use it anymore.

“Mean girls come in all shapes and sizes. Some are blond cheerleaders, and some are Francophile brunettes who love Tim Burton and write song lyrics on their Converse. It was rarely the hellhounds who said anything mean to me; they expressed no real malice toward me other than the occasional eye roll. They were at the top and had nothing to gain by pushing me around. The ones who scared me, who still scare me, are the girls who see all other girls as competition, who see themselves as the persecuted ones, the ones whom the pretty and popular girls hate. When you believe you're persecuted, you will believe anything you do is justified.”

“If you can affect someone when they're young, you are in their hearts forever.”
