Jeffrey Eugenides
“We felt the imprisonment of being a girl, the way it made your mind active and dreamy, and how you ended up knowing which colors went together. We knew that the girls were our twins, that we all existed in space like animals with identical skins, and that they knew everything about us though we couldn’t fathom them at all. We knew, finally, that the girls were really women in disguise, that they understood love and even death, and that our job was merely to create the noise that seemed to fascinate them.”
Jeffrey Eugenides, The Virgin Suicides

Emma Cline
“Girls are the only ones who can really give each other close attention, the kind we equate with being loved. They noticed what we want noticed.”
Emma Cline, The Girls

Janet Fitch
“If sinners were so unhappy, why would they prefer their suffering? But now I knew why. Without my wounds, who was I?”
Janet Fitch, White Oleander

Vladimir Nabokov
“Despite our tiffs, despite her nastiness, despite all the fuss and faces she made, and the vulgarity, and the danger, and the horrible hopelessness of it all, I still dwelled deep in my elected paradise - a paradise whose skies were the color of hell-flames - but still a paradise.”
Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

Emma Cline
“I believed, in the way of adolescents, in the absolute correctness and superiority of my love.”
Emma Cline, The Girls
