Quote by Bee Wilson

“But almost no one speaks of building up girls - these delicate soufflé-nibbling creatures who ought to be able to survive on air and compliments. Instead, a great focus is placed on building up their brothers, stoking them with dangerous delusions about how much food they need. In the current food environment, the overfeeding of boys is no more helpful than the underfeeding of girls.”

“La tan admirada hermosura de Ingel y su sonrisa celestial habían empezado a resplandecer después de conocerlo con una fuerza que no era de este mundo, de un modo aún más cegador.
