Quote by D.W. Griffith

“I foresee no possibility of venturing into themes showing a closer view of reality for a long time to come. The public itself will not have it. What it wants is a gun and a girl.”

“Boys are idiots. Girls are idiots, too, of course, but boys are a special kind of idiot. A girl, for instance, will vote for a boy in an election, or go to a movie that's about a boy, or buy a book that features a boy hero (or villain). Boys are much less likely to return the favor. They can't wrap their feeble minds around the idea that this girl might have anything in common with them. It's like they can't recognize girls as human beings.”

“মেয়েদের অনেক গুণের মধ্যে বড় গুণ হলো এরা খুব সুন্দর করে চিঠি লিখতে পারে। কথাবার্তায় নিতান্ত এলোমেলো মেয়েও চিঠি লেখায় গোছানো। মেয়েদের চিঠিতে আরেকটা ব্যাপার থাকে - বিষাদময়তা। নিতান্ত আনন্দের সংবাদ দিয়ে লেখা চিঠির মধ্যেও তারা জানি কী করে সামান্য হলেও দুঃখ মিশিয়ে দেয়। কাজটা যে তারা ইচ্ছা করে করে তা না। প্রকৃতি তাদের চরিত্রে যে বিষাদময়তা দিয়ে রেখেছে তাই হয়তো চিঠিতে উঠে আসে।”

“Poor Sasha. Poor girls. The world fattens them on the promise of love. How badly they need it, and how little most of them will ever get. The treacled pop songs, the dresses described in the catalogs with words like 'sunset' and 'Paris.' Then the dreams are taken away with such violent force; the hand wrenching the buttons of the jeans, nobody looking at the man shouting at his girlfriend on the bus”

“دختر سياسى، بهتر از پسر سياسى است. مردان، انگار كه براى حضور در معركه ى سياست به دنيا مى آيند؛ اما زنان، بر اين ميدان منّت مى گذارند كه پا در آن مى نهند. هر جا زنى به خاطر عدالت مى جنگد، آن جا عطرى پيچيده است شيرين و شورانگيز و بهشتى.”

“It was frankly sort of confusing, the way everyone stared at our bodies exactly as they tried to erase the ideas of our bodies from our minds. We were supposed to get over ourselves but no one was supposed to get over us. The female body was our worst handicap and our best advantage -- the surest means to success, the surest course to failure. (p. 72)”

“There will always be those who say you are too young and delicate to make anything happen for yourself. They don't see the part of you that smolders. Don't let their doubting drown out the sound of your own heartbeat. You are the first drop of rain in a hurricane. Your bravery builds beyond you. You are needed by all the little girls still living in secret, writing oceans made of monsters, and throwing like lightning. You don't need to grow up to find greatness. You are so much stronger than the world has ever believed you could be. The world is waiting for you to set it on fire. Trust in yourself and burn.”
