Book cover for Who Thought This Was a Good Idea?
Women need to know they are right before they stand up. Men are OK objecting if they just think they might be right. I thought, but I didn’t know.

Stephanie Perkins
“Boys turns girls into such idiots.”
Stephanie Perkins, Anna and the French Kiss

Markus Zusak
“When death captures me,' the boy vowed, 'he will feel my fist on his face.'

Personally, I quite like that. Such stupid gallantry.

Yes.

I like that a lot.”
Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

Eleanor Brown
“This conversation, you will not be surprised to know, was the impetus for their breakup, given that it caused her to realize the emotion that she had thought was her not liking him very much was, in fact, her not liking him at all. Because despite his money and his looks and all the good-on-paper attributes he possessed, he was not a reader, and, well, let's just say that is the sort of nonsense up with which we will not put.”
Eleanor Brown, The Weird Sisters

Jandy Nelson
“Our tongues have fallen madly in love and gotten married and moved to Paris.”
Jandy Nelson, The Sky Is Everywhere

Eleanor Brown
“we all have stories we tell ourselves. We tell ourselves we are too fat, too ugly, or too old, or too foolish. We tell ourselves these stories because they allow us to excuse our actions, and they allow us to pass off the responsibility for things we have done-maybe to something within our control, but anything other than the decisions we have made.”
Eleanor Brown, The Weird Sisters
