“Don't be beautiful They keep saying that beautiful is something a girl needs to be. But honestly? Just forget that. Don't be beautiful. Be klutzy, be angry, be intelligent, be interesting, be funny, be adventurous, be crazy, be talented-there is an eternity of other things to be than beautiful. And what is beautiful anyway, but a set of letters strung together to make a word? Be your own definition of amazing, always. That is so much more important than being beautiful, ever.”

“I once asked him, “How come there are no women in the history book?” He said, “Because women never did anything.” …. I used to sit in these trees and watch the boys in my class play ball. Girls were not allowed to be in Little League. At the time, I asked why. The adult said, “Girls would hurt themselves.” This made no sense to me. I thought, Boys are more likely to hurt themselves than girls are, because they have fragile stuff on the outside that girls don’t have to worry about. The adult also said, “Girls don’t like sports.” That also made no sense to me, either, because I thought, I love sports, and I’m always one of the very first to be chosen for teams in the neighborhood, when it’s just the kids doing the choosing. And aren’t I a girl?”

“SCREW CHILDREN! That's the mantra of the world. Instead of burying them with a national debt, shoving them in shitty schools, drugging them if they don't comply, hitting them, yelling at them, indoctrinating them with religion and statism and patriotism and military worship, what if we just did what was right for them? The whole world is built on "screw children", and if we changed that, this would be an alien planet to us.”
