“Girl Power!”

“Girls get a lot of mixed messages—they are told, ‘Girl Power!’ and what does that mean? It means you wear a T-shirt that says, ‘Girl Power!’ but you call each other bitches. You make fun of a girl for being a virgin and you make fun of a girl for having sex. There’s no right place to be.”

“Forget diamonds or dogs—a girl or boy's best friend is always a high-powered weapon.”

“When you love, dear girl, you give another the power to hurt you. If you love deeply enough, you give another the power to destroy you.”

“For a girl, appearance can be a powerful form of oppression. No matter how intelligent a girl may be, no matter her many talents, these attributes are not easily discerned. Brains and talent will never stand up against a girl who is clearly physically attractive.”

“You, instinctively, as a girl, have very, uh, strange, supernatural, magical powers that we don't understand.”
