“Every girl is a goddess.”

“Find the goddess inside yourself instead of looking for the god in someone else.”

“At least the girls in stories were alive before they died.”

“The girl in the mirror wasn't who I wanted to be and her life wasn't the one I wanted to have.”

“I wish I wasn’t a girl who needed so much but a little free creature that slept in deserts and ran on clouds and lived on lilies.”

“I dreamed of being a part of the stories—even terrifying one, even horror stories—because at least the girls in stories were alive before they died.”

“What shall we do? All of us passionate girls who fear crushing the boys we love with our mouths like caverns of teeth, our mushrooming brains, and watermelon hearts?”
