Black men don't like to be called 'boys,' but women accept being called 'girls.' (Marilyn Monroe)
When I was maybe 5 or 6 years old, the neighborhood girls would sit on the stoop and sing. I was known as the kid who had a good voice and no father. View quote
Barbra Streisand

Bella Abzug
...but defining their sound was Little Girls, an exuberant ska wrapped in an electronic patina, with modernist vocals à la XTC and a touch of dementia. View quote
Piero Scaruffi
Girls do not dress for boys. They dress for themselves, of course, each other. If girls dressed for boys, they'd just walk around naked at all times. View quote
Betsey Johnson
I originally passed on 'Girls' because I thought TV was evil. View quote

'Girls' feels very active and stirring a conversation and controversial, and you can't really ask for more as an actor. View quote
Adam Driver
I did think of becoming a priest quite late on, when other boys were thinking of knocking over fences and going out with girls. I would have made a very good bishop: nice housekeeper, nice clothes - god, the clothes. View quote
Colm Tóibín
We need to move beyond the idea that girls can be leaders and create the expectation that they should be leaders. View quote
Condoleezza Rice
What has always made our country special is that it doesn't matter where you come from; it matters where you're going. Our job is to make certain the pathways are open to both our boys and our girls. View quote
Condoleezza Rice
The world isn't kind to black and brown girls, or black and brown women, especially when they come from working-class communities or from poverty. My girls taught me that it's possible to make our own families, to find our families. They helped me believe in love and friendship and hope. But more than anything, after they had girls of their own, it was their girls who taught me the most important lessons: they helped me see the girl I was... (Jaquira Díaz)
Whatever you are doing, put your whole mind on it. If you are shooting, your mind should be only on the target. Then you will never miss. If you are learning your lessons, think only of the lesson. In India boys and girls are taught to do this. View quote
Swami Vivekananda
It takes real sangfroid to stare death out. Planning your own murder is a delicate undertaking, requiring as much foresight and paperwork as that invested by some girls into their first weddings. View quote
Antonella Gambotto-Burke
She watched the lights upon the shore. The glare that was Plymouth in the distance. She thought, the dance is over. The girls are going out of the overheated hall into the cold air. They shiver; their young men hurry after them. Some have got home and find their dresses stained or torn; yet they've enjoyed themselves. Which is the more important? Wallflowers think of the young men who haven't danced with them; probably each has a dream-day hero. Remember the lieutenant to whom I never spoke a word; yet I married him and had children and grandchildren, though he never knew it. And there are others, madly happy, look in their mirrors and smile and wonder. Even the latest home has a warm bed to go to. View quote
Arthur Calder-Marshall
It was from my own early experience that I decided there was no use to which money could be applied so productive of good to boys and girls who have good within them and ability and ambition to develop it as the founding of a public library. View quote
Andrew Carnegie
The girls who like me aren't the ones I like. Or, if I do and they want to commit, I suddenly need tons of time with my friends. View quote
Ethan Hawke
Being able to live my life transparently does empower me to feel like I can be myself more. It's easier for me to flirt with girls now that girls know that I'm gay. It almost makes it a sexier encounter than if I was trying to pretend that I was straight. View quote
Neil Patrick Harris
Girls are complicated. The instruction manual that comes with girls is 800 pages, with chapters 14, 19, 26 and 32 missing, and it's badly translated, hard to figure out. View quote
Hugh Laurie
I think good-looking people seldom make good television. And American television studios almost concede before they start: 'Well, it won't be good, but at least it'll be good-looking. We'll have nice-looking girls in tight shirts with F.B.I. badges and fit-looking guys with lots of hair gel vaulting over things.' View quote
Hugh Laurie
Trout's leading robot looked like a human being, and could talk and dance and so on, and go out with girls. And nobody held it against him that he dropped jellied gasoline on people. But they found his halitosis unforgivable. But then he cleared that up, and he was welcomed to the human race. View quote
Kurt Vonnegut
The little girls were wearing black party dresses and black party shoes, so strangers would know at once how nice they were. (Kurt Vonnegut)
I think it's important for little girls growing up, and young women, to have one in every walk of life. So from that point of view, I'm proud to be a role model! View quote
Sally Ride
For whatever reason, I didn't succumb to the stereotype that science wasn't for girls. I got encouragement from my parents. I never ran into a teacher or a counselor who told me that science was for boys. A lot of my friends did. View quote
Sally Ride
There are lots of opportunities out there for women to work in these fields, ... Girls just need support, encouragement and mentoring to follow through with the sciences. View quote
Sally Ride
It's well known that many girls have a tendency to dumb down when they're in middle school. View quote
