“If the girl could only have spoken to the other boys and girls, the ones that had followed the golden-eyed boy before her, she would have known that there is always something left to lose.”

“Boys will be boys, that's what everyone always says. But no one ever mentions how girls have to be something other than themselves altogether.”

“When boys and girls go out to play there is always someone left behind, and the boy who is left behind is no use to the girl who is left behind.”

“clad not exactly as a boy but, rather confusingly, as the boy I would have been, had I been more of a girl”

“She's on his mind again. Her mind is on the boy that smiled at her today. That boy's mind is on another girl. The other girl has her mind on her ex. Her ex is thinking of the girl at the bar. The girl at the bar is thinking of her high school sweetheart. Just as your mind is always on someone, someone's mind is always is on you. What is love but when two minds are thinking of each other.”

“Boys will be boys. And even that wouldn't matter if only we could prevent girls from being girls.”
