“Optimism is the young boy who notices that a girl notices that he notices her.”

“He noticed her giving him the once-over and smiled in a way no gay boy in history had ever smiled at a girl.”

“Why is it that girls think boys will notice them if they’re loud anyway.”

“Bathsheba looked at Benedict. "You never told me they were matchmaking.""He didn't notice!" said his father before Benedict could answer. "He didn't notice handsome young misses of unexceptionable family. He didn't notice beautiful heiresses. We tried bluestockings. We tried country girls. We tried everything. He didn't notice! But Bathsheba Winngate, the most notorious woman in all of England, he noticed.""We notorious women tend to stand out," she said.”

“Some men were nothing but overgrown boys who never got over the "fun" of teasing girls, just to get noticed”

“A beauty is a woman you notice; a charmer is one who notices you.”
