1 " You like it. Knowing things about people. It makes you feel powerful. "
― Sara Wolf , Savage Delight (Lovely Vicious, #2)
2 " The sadness will last forever. And I think he was right, but I also think he was very, very wrong. It doesn’t last forever. Because we don’t last forever. "
3 " Jack doesn’t give a jackshit about me. No, wait, I got that backwards. I don’t give a jackshit about Jack the Shit. "
4 " Sometimes people need to be messed up. It reminds them life is short. "
5 " There are approximately nine trillion cells in my body and every single one of them hates hiking. And walking. Just moving for extended periods of time in general, really. All nine trillion of us would rather be in bed. "
6 " Why do I feel the sudden urge to perform violence on your face? "
7 " You’re the most confusing girl I’ve ever met.” “Yeah.” I smile. “Not sorry.” “Good. "
8 " Dying before you pay someone back is just plain rude. "
9 " She smells like coconut and the tears of every boy who will never have a chance with her. "
10 " You’ll be okay driving home?” “Duh,” I feel miffed that he’d pat me like a child, but also weird and glowy on the inside in places I don’t even wanna think about. “I’m like a NASCAR driver. Minus the millions of dollars.” “Shame, really. Imagine how many more people you could annoy if you were a millionaire.” “At least ten whole people. And their grandmas. "
11 " Most things that pop into my head are really weird, like that one time when I thought about Shrek in Victoria's Secret underwear. "
12 " I’ll text if there’s issues. Tissues. Not tissues, tissues are disgusting and so are issues. "
13 " My gut isn't wrong. Except when it has diarrhea. Then it is very, very wrong. "
14 " Ello, love. Fancy a cuppa?""You're not British, Isis," Naomi says."I can be things," I insist. "
15 " Uh, you're the fashionable expert here. I just sort of throw on things that don't have holes in them and hope for the best. I read a Cosmo onece on the toilet. Does that count? "
16 " The words are holloew. But that's okay. Most things are, these days. "
17 " Men like to categorize women.” I curl my lip. “Into convenient little boxes like ‘hot’, or ‘cute’, or ‘beautiful’. It’s easy for them. It’s never been easy for me.” “So this particular girl,” the man leads. “She’s none of those?” “She’s all of those,” I say, a little too quickly for my own liking. “And more than those, and at the same time she’s none of those. She is exactly herself, no more and no less. "
18 " I’m not the princess, I’m the goddamn dragon, and you can’t seem to see that. "
19 " I underestimated this guy. He plays the game well. Of course he does. He’s had years of adulthood – where everyone smiles when they hate someone and bottles up their emotions – to practice in. He’s a master of passive-aggressive-bullshit-taekwondo. And I’m more a master of the aggressive style. "
20 " She looks like an inbred Pomeranian on her best days. "
