Sophie Says QUOTES

1 " When you keep a secret from your parents, you're not trying to protect yourself. It's because you're trying to protect them. "

― Judy Balan , Sophie Says

2 " Who decided it's a phobia in the first place? What if I just don't want to get married ever. Just like I don't want to live in Jharkhand ever. Somehow I can say that as loud as I want and as many times as I want, yet nobody will ask me to see the shrink about my Jharkhand phobia. Why? "

― Judy Balan , Sophie Says

3 " I blame Chennai. Pointless neighbourhood gossip travels faster than tsunami alerts around here. I know that aunties are a universal problem but this city is particularly aunty dominated. And by that, I mean, even many of our twenty-somethings act like aunties. Forgive the rant. Maybe I've lived here too long (and have therefore outgrown it) but I sincerely believe that Chennai has no business being called a metro. I mean, if a thirty-year-old single woman living alone while her parents are in the same city, is still such hot news, then maybe we need to graciously give up our metro status to someone more deserving. And since we have no qualms about lagging so far behind the times, maybe we should call ourselves retro. "

4 " Facebook should start publishing breakup stories. 'So and so and so and so are no longer in a relationship.' With a tombstone next to it. "

― Judy Balan , Sophie Says

5 " Opposites attract but only to torture each other. "

― Judy Balan , Sophie Says

6 " I don't get it. Why would you want to endure someone who squeezes the toothpaste the wrong way and deprives you of a simple pleasure every morning? "

― Judy Balan , Sophie Says

7 " Whoever took that theory about magnets and started applying it to people, needs to have his posterior kicked! "

― Judy Balan , Sophie Says

8 " I am a Tamilian by geographical disposition and a Roman Catholic by faith. A very unfortunate combination, if you ask me. Because not only did I get stuck with a name like Sophia Thilagam, I was also frequently subject to the aesthetically disturbing sight of crimson red, Kanjeevaram silk sarees with loud, gold borders worn with Colgate-white veils and equally unsubtle tiaras to match. The Tamil Catholic wedding, of course. "

9 " They are easy enough to recognize. They are the ones who say things like 'You love me, you just don't know it yet. "

― Judy Balan , Sophie Says

10 " And finally, I get to meet the Breakup Coach" Ryan says before we can be introduced. "I'm a big fan of your work" he says with mock admiration as I turn around. I decide I like his voice. It's not a deep Charlton Heston-like voice, but it has just the right amount of husky in it. "

― Judy Balan , Sophie Says

11 " How do you tell someone that you don’t love them anymore? Or the way I used to put it, that they just don’t make you want to give up your last piece of Oreo cheesecake. "

― Judy Balan , Sophie Says

12 " They say a good relationship (or was it marriage?) will make you exceedingly happy while a bad one will make you a philosopher. "
