I told my mom, 'I'm not buying another magazine until I can get past this thought of looking like the girl on the cover'. She said, "Miley, you are the girl on the cover,' and I was, like, 'I know, but I don't feel like that girl every day.' You can't always feel perfect.
Miley CyrusI love you. I know the real you too. You think I don't but how easily you forget I was the one who bailed you out of trouble over and over again as kids.

Georges BatailleYou picked that out?โ Caine asked. โThat pink, plastic toy?โ I turned to look at him. โI happen to have been a little girl, once upon a time, detective. I know what they like.

A bitter laugh escaped from my tight lips. โThen they just want to be little girls again.
Jennifer EstepAlison [McGhee] and I have known each other since the summer of 2001. One evening we were sitting around talking about how we wished we had a good story to work on.

She's a cheerleader, a babysitter; she's accessible and eager to please (remember those ethics of passivity!). She's never a woman of color. SHe's never a low-income girl or a fat girl. She's never disabled. "Virgin" is a designation for those who meet a certain standard of what women, especially young women, are supposed to look like. As for how these young women are supposed to act? A blank slate is best.
Jessica ValentiYou know I really don't like to think about the fact that I'm a girl in relation to the music industry. I was just a kid who wrote down thoughts to organize her brain and that turned into music, like any other writer or musician... so, I happen to be a girl. I don't consider that part of it really.. It may disappoint some feminists out there that I don't want to harp on women and men being equal.

Mindy KalingThe word C.R.E.A.M. - which stands for "Cash Rules Everything Around Me" - is from Wu Tang Clan. This song is about a prostitute who falls in love with her client, who winds up being a drug girl in New York. It's an ode to the girl who works in the streets; it gives her a face and a name and a story. I used to go and admire those girls. I was inspired by their bravery and their femininity, and how they were just putting themselves out there. It was intense to see. It's strange, but they kind of inspired me in a way. I felt it was so bold.

Cassandra ClareThat depends. Youโve got to define โparty girl.โ If you mean Iโm a walking good time, then hells yeah. But Iโm not wasted and stumbling out of clubs and getting DUIs. Iโm not that kind of party girl. I may be blonde and fun as balls, but Iโm not a moron.

Astrid LindgrenHe wasn't into one-night stands, he wasn't into scoring just to see if he could, he wasn't into acting just charming enough to get what he wanted before cutting loose in favor of someone new and attractive.

When he met a girl, the first question he asked himself wasn't whether she was good for a few dates; it was whether she was the kind of girl he could imagine spending time with in the long haul.
