“It's all right when you are calling on a girl or talking with friends after dinner to run a conversation like a Sunday-school excursion, with stops to pick flowers; but in the office your sentences should be the shortest distance possible between periods.” ShouldRunningSchoolGirlTalkingFlowerPeriodsCallingConversationOfficePicksDistanceDinnerSentencesSundaySunday SchoolExcursions Book:Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to his Son Source: Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to his Son
“I was given the name by my brother when I was about eleven or twelve years old. He was older than me, and around that age I was starting to get into girls, and when they would call the house for him, and when he was not there, I would try to talk to them. I was trying to be the man and trying to get them to come and see me, not worrying about him. When he found out... he started calling me Ice Cube as a joke because he said I was trying to be too cool. I just liked it and started telling everybody in the hood "my name is Ice Cube."” MenTryingYearsSaidAgeGirlFoundHouseNamesGivenWorryHe ManBrotherCallingJokesStartingIceMy BrotherTwelveElevenHoodCubesNot WorryingToo Cool Author:Ice Cube

“There comes a moment during which almost every girl or boy falls into melancholy; they are tormented by a vague inquietude which rests on everything and finds nothing to calm it. They seek solitude; they weep; the silence to be found in cloister attracts them: the image of peace that seems to reign in religious houses seduces them. They mistake the first manifestations of a developing sexual nature for the voice of God calling them to Himself; and it is precisely when nature is inciting them that they embrace a fashion of life contrary to nature's wish.” FirstsMomentsSeemsFallGirlFoundHouseWishVoiceReligiousMistakeSilenceBoysAtheismFashionCallingSolitudeEmbraceCalmPositive AtheismContraryDevelopingManifestationMelancholyVagueReignSeducingVoice Of GodEvery Girl Author:Denis Diderot
“That was exactly why people didn't want to give us any kind of life, because we were threatening their status quo, and they just didn't want to have room for girls playing rock 'n' roll. It bothered them. First, people just tried to get around it by saying, "Oh, wow, isn't that cute? Girls playing rock 'n' roll!," and when we said, "Yeah, right, this isn't a phase; it's what we want to do with our lives," it became, "Oh! You must be a bunch of sluts. You dykes, you whores." That's what it became. Then it became a name-calling contest.” PeopleWantGivingFirstsKindSaidGirlNamesRoomsOur LivesRocksCallingYeahBunchCuteWowRock N RollPhasesThreateningContestsStatus QuoBotheredName CallingCute GirlDykes Author:Joan Jett
