"No matter how kind you are, always expect a few imbeciles."
"Most cynics are really crushed romantics: they've been hurt, they're sensitive, and their cynicism is a shell that's protecting this tiny, dear part in them that's still alive."
"People, generally, suck."
"The more expensive a school is, the more crooks it has - I'm not kidding."
"Motivating people, forcing them to your will, gives you a cynical attitude toward humanity. It degrades everything it touches."
"The only activity a cynic will find contagious is yawning, that is, with other people, at other people."
"It is through experience that I have lost faith in USA law enforcement."

"The actual handbag is neither here nor there-- it's what you keep in it that's the most important thing."
"Every woman who chooses - joyfully, thoughtfully, calmly, of their own free will and desire - not to have a child does womankind a massive favour in the long term. We need more women who are allowed to prove their worth as people; rather than being assessed merely for their potential to create new people. After all, half those new people we go on to create are also women - presumably themselves to be judged, in their futures, for not making new people. And so it will go on and on..."
"Always believe you can change the world " even if it's only a tiny bit, because every tiny bit needed someone who changed it."
"Two women at the same event wearing the same outfit is a disaster. But two women at the same event singing the same song is a party. And two women at the same event talking about Doris from Fame is a friendship for life. Fill yourself with words, choruses, and heroes, like you're supposed to fill your wardrobe with shoes, brooches, and belts."
"You stop talking about things when you've worked them out. You're no longer an observer but a participant. You're too busy for this bullshit."
"I am eating this noise like mouthfuls of freezing, glittering fog. I am filling with it. I am using it as energy. Because what you are, as a teenager, is a small, silver, empty rocket. And you use loud music as fuel, and then the information in books as maps and coordinates, to tell you where you're going."
"For a woman, every outfit is a hopeful spell, cast to influence the outcome of the day. An act of trying to predict your fate, like looking at your horoscope."
"I am a massive slag!" I think to myself, in a motivational way. "I'm a Lady Sex Adventuress! I'm a Pirate of Privates! I'm a swashfuckler!" ... I think of "Teenage Whore" by Courtney Love as my personal anthem."
