“All my life I had to fight. I had to fight my daddy. I had to fight my brothers. I had to fight my cousins and my uncles. A girl child ain't safe in a family of men. But I never thought I'd have to fight in my own house. She let out her breath. I loves Harpo, she say. God knows I do. But I'll kill him dead before I let him beat me.”
― Alice Walker, The Color Purple

― Rachel Cohn, Dash & Lily's Book of Dares

“The handwriting was a girl’s. I mean, you can tell. That enchanted cursive.”
― Rachel Cohn, Dash & Lily's Book of Dares

“There's no such thing as ready, there's only willing.”
― Rachel Cohn & David Levithan, Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist
