"The Girls" Quotes

Poor girls. The world fattens them on the promise of love.

I was beloved now. And it never went away, that feeling.

I was always drawn to the edges of things, to the places where the rules were less clear.

That was part of being a girl - you were resigned to whatever feedback the world provided.

It was like she was trying to divine my secrets, the things that made me different and unlovable.

Girls were always disappearing. They slipped like mercury through my fingers.

They were like paper flowers - pretty, but easily torn.

It was easier for me to understand the shadows than the light.

I was caught in the orbit of something bigger than myself.

She had the power to make me feel like nothing, like a ghost slipping through the world unnoticed.
