“Yes, boys are a little like shoes. Why? Well...They can be useful. But mainly...They are nice to look at. Getting the right one can be a lovely accessory to an outfit.

There are many types and often the ones that look the nicest are completely unpractical.”
― Rachel Hill, A Girl's Guide to Guys: Meeting Them, Managing Them and All That Love Stuff
