And why did men insist on buying the largest size? Didn't they understand the concept of sizes? Did they think buying a magnum sized condom was going to fool me into thinking their Toyota Camery was an aircraft carrier?

Pride is just another word for insecurity and fear--again, having no strong sense of self or worth. If pride is the driving force behind your decisions, then your life is going to suck.

Well," he abruptly broke the protracted silence. "Where can I kiss you?" "What?" He lifted his fingers to my face, tucked a few loose strands of hair behind my ears. "Where can I kiss you goodbye?" My stomach did a backflip, and I responded stupidly, "In the hall. . .?" "No, Elizabeth. That's not what I meant. Where--on your body--am I allowed to kiss you? Where do your other friends kiss you?"

Yes, I felt shabby and small, but that's okay. I was shabby and small. There's nothing wrong with being shabby and small. Hobbits are shabby and small and look how badass they are. Plus, second breakfasts for the win.

What are you!? A Disney princess?" Ashley's annoyance powered semi-shout surprised the room. She dropped her knitting to her lap and glared at me, apparently sincerely perturbed by Janie's revelation. "Get over yourself! We all have to fall in love more than once--even if it's with the same person."

I aspire to different achievements than worldly success, and I know you do as well. But, Claire, I'm glad you finally saw reason and accepted the record deal. Your star is too bright to hide in plain sight." "You just rhymed, Cletus. I might have to steal that for a song." "Go ahead. I ain't using it for anything profitable."

I don't think of you as perfect. "Oh... ok." My eyelashes blinked in rapid succession and my brain started compiling the list of all my imperfections, "It's because of my height? My seepage of trivial facts? My granny panties-"

Dammit, Billy. You had one job. One. Job. I moved my glare to my brother. "May I have a word?" "Now?" he asked, looking and sounding almost delighted. Of note, delighted for Billy was imperturbably stoic for everyone else. "Yes. Now." I bared my teeth in a grin. Billy's eyes moved between mine and I cursed his fastidious grooming. He'd taken extra care with the beard trimmer this afternoon. He also smelled like a profligate, cologne, and un..

if you're not just a little bit afraid of letting down one or both of your parents, then you must've had shitty parents. I'm not talking about paralyzing fear--paralyzing fear also means shitty parents--I'm talking about a sliver of worry, a shard of concern. Take my parents, for example. I couldn't care less what my pop thought. He was a shitty parent.

You'll make me cry." His eyes widened a little, moved between mine. "I wouldn't." "You would. I've seen it, I see how you treat girls." His hand at my waist tightened. "I wouldn't do that to you. You're not - I know you're not like that. We wouldn't be that." "I don't trust you." He sighed, but not with impatience. "I know." He nodded. "But you will."

You should have me there as your representative to make sure he doesn't try to zap you with his sexy ray." "Zap me with his sexy ray?" "You know what I'm talking about. I barely saw him and I'm feeling the effects. He's like an...electromagnetic pulse of sexy or something. So does his friend, Eric. They shouldn't be allowed in public." "That's not how electromagnets work." "Whatever. You get my point."

She told me I should be proud of my healthy shape and healthy body and love it and treasure it because it was mine. No one, she said, could tell me what to think of my body. If I let another person's opinion matter I was giving him or her control over me, and I had complete control over my own self-image.
