81 " She was dressing for the life she wanted, not the one she had. "

― Sarah Dessen

82 " I'm always right, always wrong. Dressing bad's like loving you there is nothing i haven't worn. Nothing, I haven’t said before. You are nothing I haven’t felt before. "

― Tegan Quin

83 " It’s only sixteen ninety-five," I say with a flutter of my lashes." You’re serious." I prop my hands on my waist and stick out a hip, striking a pose worthy of a supermodel. " Look at me. Don’t I look serious?" She collapses into the chair outside the dressing room in a fit of giggles so cute they make my insides fizz. " No! You must be stopped," she says." Why?" I strut down an aisle of yellowed lingerie, swiveling my hips, batting bras with flicks of my fingers. " I will be the king of the disco. I will be—" I spin and strike another pose. " An inspiration." She sniffs and swipes at her eyes. " The real Dylan would die before he’d be seen in public in something like that." " The real Dylan is boring." I brace my hands on the arms of her chair and lean down until our faces are a whisper apart. " And he’s not one fourth the kisser I am." " Is that right?" Her lips quirk." You know it is." Her smile melts, and her breath comes faster. " Yeah. I do. "

84 " Do not starve your soul while you indulge your body.
That is dressing the shadow. "

85 " In the spring and summer I watched my plants flower, but it was, perhaps, in winter that I loved them best, when their skeletons were exposed. Then I felt they had more to say to me, were not simply dressing themselves for the crowds. Stripped of their leaves, their identities showed forth stark, essential. "

― Pamela Erens , The Understory

86 " They'd lived their lives on tightropes, never knowing where the next paycheck was coming from or if one was coming at all, their personal lives a mishmash of backstage affairs and dressing room brawls endured for the brief heady adrenaline rush brought by the orchestra's overture and glare of white lights. "

― , Searching for Grace Kelly

87 " I do not see the point in dressing and acting and speaking in a way that makes you feel more comfortable and me feel less comfortable. "

― Dan Pearce , Single Dad Laughing

88 " ...crossed the room to where a selection of implements was arranged on a table top. These could have been mistaken for the trade tools of a cook, physician, or torturer, save for the fact that the surface on which they rested was a slab of polished pink marble, topping a white and gilt dressing table-cum-sculpture, done up in the new, hyper-Baroque style named Rococo. It was adorned, for example, with several cherubs, bows drawn, eyes asquint, as they drew beads on unseen targets, butt cheeks polished to a luster with jeweler’s rouge. It had, in other words, all the earmarks of a gift that had been sent to the princess by someone with a lot of money who did not know her very well. "

― Neal Stephenson

89 " Jack glanced toward the dressing room, not believing that all the time he had been with her, she had been half-naked... "

― Terry Spear , A Ghost of a Chance at Love

90 " Your Barney?” Cole’s eyebrows shot up.
“Yours?”

“He’s mine all right!” Claire replied.

“Everyone in this family belongs to everyone else – belongs with everyone else, rather. I’ve looked after him for a year now – ironed his shirts, made his school lunches, told him stories. I made that dressing gown he’s wearing, whereas no one knew you were alive this time last week. But what matters most is that he wants to be ours and he doesn’t want to be yours. That’s what counts. "

― Margaret Mahy , The Haunting

91 " Our first point of discussion is the hunt. (...) My idea is to start the film with an image of the vixen locked out of her lair which has been plugged up. Her terror as she's pursued across the country. This is a big deal. It means training a fox from birth or dressing up a dog to look like a fox. Or hiring David Attenbrorough, who probably knows a few foxes well enough to ask a favour. "

― Emma Thompson , The Sense and Sensibility Screenplay and Diaries: Bringing Jane Austen's Novel to Film

92 " When she walked by the two officers, they didn't recognize her. " Have you seen the luscious bonbon with the golden braids?" She grinned up at them with such impish mischief that they almost forgot their quest for the singer. " She is with her lover," Hannah said. " But she can always handle one or two more." She winked at them. " Go there, through that door." She made her escape while the uniformed hobbledehoys gawked and gaped and finally burst into the dressing room where Franz, the three-hundred-pound juggling strongman, was adjusting his loincloth. " I ought not do it," Hannah said aloud to herself as chaos erupted behind her. " I just can't seem to help myself. it is a shame, really. "

93 " It might be extremely dorky to point out, but who you are is singular. It’s science. No one else in existence has your point of view or exact genome (identical twins and clones, look for inspiration elsewhere, please). That is why we need people to share and help us understand one another better. And on a bigger level than just taking a selfie. (Not hating on selfies, but a few is enough. You look good from that angle; we get it.) We need the world to hear more opinions, give glimpses into more diverse subcultures. Are you REALLY into dressing your cat in handcrafted, historically authentic outfits? No problem, there are people out there who want to see that! Probably in excruciating detail! "

― Felicia Day , You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost)

94 " Autumn is Nature's last party of the year. And dressing for the occasion, forests don their brightest attire, while the creatures follow suit with plush coats of fur. As the birds savor their final flights in the waning embers of light, Nature's children scamper about in search of manna for their winter pantries, pausing long enough to frolic in the heaps of newly fallen le "

95 " Today at the beach I could feel the men dressing me with their eyes. "
