“I am not pretty. I am not beautiful. I am as radiant as the sun.”
“I am not loved. I am not a beautiful soul. I am not a good-natured, giving person. I am not anybody's savior.”
“Here's the thing: I am not beautiful. I'm pretty. I'll allow that much. Pretty. But I'm not the girl boys long for.”
“I mean, I am pretty fabulous. Am I not?''You're a pillar of fabulosity in the community,' I tell him.”
“Am I pretty? I must be, I thought, for all girls in love are pretty.”
“I am only a literary lizard basking the day away beneath the great sun of Beauty. That's all.”
