Famous quotes containing the word girl:
“A girl must allow others to share the responsibility for care, thus enabling others to care for her. She must learn how to care in ways appropriate to her age, her desires, and her needs; she then acts with authenticity. She must be allowed the freedom not to care; she then has access to a wide range of feelings and is able to care more fully.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
“Getting ready: the show girl scratches her breast and shakes out her feathers.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“When a little girl opens her bright eyes in the sunlight, there is no variety of options.”
—Jean Arnold, U.S. inventor. As quoted in Feminine Ingenuity, ch. 9, by Anne L. MacDonald (1992)
