Caitlin Moran Quote

Not all of them say ‘You’re shit!’ – some of them say ‘You’re great!’, but in a way, that’s worse. Because when lots of other people have said ‘You’re shit!’, you feel you have a duty to tell the people who say ‘You’re great!’ that a lot of other people think you’re shit, and that they should maybe bear those statistics in mind before they make their final analysis.
