One is not born a woman—one becomes one, she didn’t know the half of it.
Nem vagy múzsának való, gondoltam végül bánatosan a 18. születésnapomon, ahogy szemügyre vettem a világot, amelyet egyáltalán nem ihlettem meg. Nem vagyok királylány. Nem vagyok múzsa. Ha meg akarom v...
Necesitamos recuperar urgentemente la palabra feminismo. Cuando las estadísticas señalan que sólo el 29% de las mujeres norteamericanas se describirían a si mismas como feministas, y sólo un 42% de la...
Musicals are strictly for homosexuals and womenfolk, Kenny says drily, in a way that’s so post-post-post-ironic it actually stops being communication, and simply becomes confusing and unhelpful.
Man, I was on the shepherd's pie last night like you wouldn't believe. I had, like, MASH in my EYEBROWS by 10pm. I was on a total mince rush!
Life is really the only place you can learn the most important lessons about how to get dressed and to be happy.
I’m an enthusiast who’s been pretending to be a cynic. But I have been correctly labeled now. I am for things—not against them. I must remember this. Mainly because this is more fun. It’s exhausting b...
It would be boring to say how much we laughed. He lay in his bed, and told stories, and would go quiet - asleep? - and then he would giggle, and then I would giggle, and he would say, 'You put the pho...
It demeans a society to rely on random acts of mercy, Johanna.
If I’d had to guess, before, what being pissed felt like, I would never have guessed this unusual result: your knees feel warm, and your anxiety alchemizes down into something syrupy, and pleasant, an...
If I'm going to spunk £500 on a pair of designer shoes, it's going to be a pair that I can (a) dance to Bad Romance in and (b) will allow me to run away from a murderer, should one suddenly decide to...
I'm so tired of this shit. Batman never had to get together a petition with 250,000 signatures on it when he wanted to change things. He just went and rammed the Batcar into the Penguin's den. Why can...
I have discovered something amazing: some people aren't just people, but a place - a whole world. Sometimes you find someone you could live in for the rest of your life. John Kite is like Narnia to me...
I also wish to be...noble. Profoundly noble. I wish to devote myself to a cause. I want to be part of something. I want to swing into action, like a one-woman army. An arm-me. As soon as I actually fi...
He’s not a person—he’s a place you travel to. Everything changes when you’re with him. He is the mayor of good times. I remember a quote I read: It was no man you wanted, believe me—it was a world.
Caz doesn’t like ‘nearness’. It makes her extremely irascible. In a three-bedroom council house with seven people in it, she is almost perpetually furious.
Bármilyen idiótának, aki azt kérdezi: „Feminista vagy? Akkor elégeted a melltartóidat, mi? HE? Melltartókat égetsz, te feminista? – szép nyugodtan így kell válaszolni: „Ostoba. OSTOBA! A melltartó a b...
But they didn’t. Because simply being able to vote isn’t the same as true equality. It’s difficult to see the glass ceiling because it’s made of glass. Virtually invisible. What we need is for more bi...
But now I've discovered the truth of the matter: that any woman can get laid, any time that she wants. Any woman. Any time. It is the greatest and most amazing secret on earth. It really doesn't matte...
But deciding not to have children is a very, very hard decision for a woman to make: the atmosphere is worryingly inconducive to saying, I choose not to, or It all sounds a bit vile, tbh. We call thes...
