“I can already feel myself getting fed up with boys and I haven't had anything to do with them yet" - Georgia Nicolson”
“I am fed up. I am fed up with tears and weakness. But there isn't much I can do to stop them.”
“You can get used to anything - haven't I already said that? Isn't that what all survivors say?”
“Yeah, I know. I was a jerk. An idiot. You can't say anything to me that I haven't already said to myself.”
“I am quite empty of feeling. I don't care the slightest bit in the world for anybody or anything except myself. But I do care for myself, and I'm going to survive in spite of them all, and I'm going to have my own success without caring the least in the world how I get it. Because I'm cleverer than they are, I'm cunninger than they are, even if I'm weak. I must build myself up proper protections, and entrench myself, and then I'm safe. I can sit inside my glass tower and feel nothing and be touched by nothing, and yet exert my power, my will, through the glass walls of my ego.”
“I don't have a list or anything. I just haven't met that person that I want to hold a boom box up for yet.”
