“I was the kid growing up who would play with G.I. Joes in a pink dress and then run off to play with my Barbies. It doesn't mean that I'm less girly, it just means that I have this other side of me. It's kinda cool to be a little bit of both, I think.” ThinkingMeanLittlesPlayRunningKidsBitsSidesGrowing UpGrowingLittle BitDressesGirlyBarbieKids Growing Up Author:Adrianne Palicki
“I would rather have a young fellow too much than too little dressed; the excess on that side will wear off, with a little age and reflection; but if he is negligent at twenty, he will be a sloven at forty, and stink at fifty years old. Dress yourself fine where others are fine, and plain where others are plain; but take care always that your clothes are well made and fit you, for otherwise they will give you a very awkward air.” IfsGivingYearsWellsLittlesMadeCareAgeYoungSidesToo MuchAirFineFitClothesReflectionTwentiesDressesFellowsTake CareFiftyFortyExcessAwkwardStinkFifty Year Olds Book:Lord Chesterfield's Letters Source: Lord Chesterfield's Letters
“Nobody here could ever talk about a heaven on earth. Heaven remained rigidly in its proper place on the other side of death, and on this side flourished the injustices, the cruelties, the meanness that elsewhere people so cleverly hushed up. Here you could love human beings nearly as God loved them, knowing the worst: you didn't love a pose, a pretty dress, a sentiment artfully assumed.” PeopleHumansEarthHeavenSidesHuman BeingsKnowingWorstDressesInjusticeCrueltyGod LoveSentimentsElsewhereMeannessHeaven On Earth Author:Graham Greene
“When I was nine years, growing up on the south side of Chicago, in the ghetto. The Robert Taylor Projects. I came home from school, I showed my mother a picture and said "Momma, that's you in the rocking chair. There's daddy over there." I said, "Momma, one of these days, I'm gonna be big and strong. I'm gonna be a football player. I'm gonna be a boxer. I'm gonna buy you a beautiful house and I'm gonna buy you pretty dresses."

“Gays don't have a lot of testosterone. I'm talking about that they use both sides of their brain. Straight men only use one side.

“From daydreams on the road there was no waking. He plodded on. He could remember everything of her save her scent. Seated in a theatre with her beside him leaning forward listening to the music. Gold scrollwork and sconces and the tall columnar folds of the drapes at either side of the stage. She held his hand in her lap and he could feel the tops of her stockings through the thin stuff of her summer dress. Freeze this frame.

“In 1957, “West Side Story” had introduced the musical to the reckless dark side of teen-age life; “Bye Bye Birdie,” set in Sweet Apple, Ohio, where the citizens apparently dress mostly in chartreuse, mauve, orange, periwinkle, and turquoise, was a walk on the bright side.” StoriesAgeSidesDarkWalksSweetCitizensDressesWestMusicalApplesGoodbyeOrangeRecklessByeDark SideOhioBright SideBye ByeTurquoiseWest SideWest Side StoryAge LifePeriwinkleBye Bye BirdieChartreuse Author:John Lahr
“The love of dress is very marked in this attractive animal; he is proud of the lustre of his coat, and cannot endure that a hair of it shall lie the wrong way. When the cat has eaten, he passes his tongue several times over both sides of his jaws, and his whiskers, in order to clean them thoroughly; he keeps his coat clean with a prickly tongue which fulfills the office of the curry-comb.” WayLyingOrderSidesAnimalHairProudOfficeCatDressesCleanEndureTongueAttractiveCoatsBoth SidesWrong WayCombsCurryWhiskers Author:Champfleury
