“Look at your [English] ladies of quality are they not forever parting with their husbands - forfeiting their reputations - and is their life aught but dissipation? In common genteel life, indeed, you may now and then meet with very fine girls - who have politeness, sense and conversation - but these are few - and then look at your trademen's daughters - what are they? poor creatures indeed! all pertness, imitation and folly.” LooksMayGirlPoorCommonQualityForeverFineHusbandConversationCreaturesDaughterReputationFollyNow And ThenImitationPartingPolitenessDissipation Author:Fanny Burney
“The Roman form of serenade is to race a motorcycle motor under the girl's window, but mufflers are not common in any situation; the only things as dearly loved as a good noise are breakneck speed and eye-splitting lights, preferably neon - all expressions of well-being, like a huge belly-laugh.” WellsLightEyeFormGirlCommonRaceSituationLaughingExpressionHugeWindowSpeedNoiseWell BeingRomeBellyMotorMotorcycleSplittingNeonBelly Laughs Book:Rome and a Villa Source: Rome and a Villa
“The girls that I grew up with, and my friends and I, we just never had interests in common. I loved comedy. I loved Saturday Night Live, Gilda Radner, Lucille Ball, and Goldie Hawn movies.

“Dombey and Son had often dealt in hides, but never in hearts. They left that fancy ware to boys and girls, and boarding-schools and books. Mr. Dombey would have reasoned: That a matrimonial alliance with himself must, in the nature of things, be gratifying and honourable to any woman of common sense. That the hope of giving birth to a new partner in such a house, could not fail to awaken a glorious and stirring ambition in the breast of the least ambitious of her sex.” GivingHeartBookSchoolFunnyGirlHouseLeftSexCommonBoysFailingSonBirthAmbitionHumorousPartnersCommon SenseFancyGloriousBreastsAmbitiousAlliancesStirringBoy And GirlGiving Birth Author:Charles Dickens
“CEOs of top companies could probably use a dose of not-asking-for-raise behavior and less self-entitlement, rather than us trying to change girls in order to fit into the common mold of what we think a CEO looks like.” ThinkingTryingLooksSelfUseOrderGirlCommonCompanyFitBehaviorAskingRaisesCeoMoldEntitlementDoseTrying To Change Author:Adora Svitak
