“Height isn't something you can have and just let be, like nice teeth or naturally curly hair. People have this idea you have to put it to use, playing basketball, for example, or observing the weather up there. If you are a girl, they feel a particular need to point your height out to you, as if you might not have noticed.” PeopleIfsNeedsFeelsIdeasUseBodyMightGirlNiceExampleParticularHairBasketballSizeTeethWeatherHeightObservingPlaying BasketballCurly HairNice Teeth Author:Barbara Kingsolver
“I never wash my hair the night before an event - I call it second day hair, and it holds better. Also, the day before, test run your makeup and watch it every couple of hours (see if your mascara is bleeding, or if your lip gloss runs out really quickly). Oh, and for me, shoe-wise, platforms give me the same height that I need, but they're not as taxing on my feet.” IfsNeedsGivingRunningNightHoursWatchesWiseFeetEventsHairCoupleTestsGive MeShoesLipsHeightMakeupPlatformsBleedingGlossMascaraLip Gloss Author:Debby Ryan
“Before you go into what is essentially a competition, you have to have that confidence. You have to ask yourself, "Are they looking for a guy my height? My age? I've got a shot." And if there are nine guys auditioning and they're all gorgeous, I have an advantage, because gorgeous guys are a dime a dozen. But if they need someone else - like a goofy guy with bad hair who is just okay - then that's me. And finally, the other 2 percent who audition are geniuses that I could never touch.” IfsNeedsAgeGuyAsksHairGeniusPercentShotsAdvantageOkayCompetitionNineHeightDozenAuditionsGorgeousDimesGoofyBad Hair Author:Tom Hanks
“The moment in The Bell Jar when Esther Greenwood realizes after thirty days in the same black turtleneck that she never wants to wash her hair again, that the repeated necessity of the act is too much trouble, that she wants to do it once and be done with it, seems like the book's true epiphany.

“I looked at Thalia. "You're afraid of heights." Now that we were safely down the mountain, her eyes had their usual angry look. "Don't be stupid." That explains why you freaked out on Apollo's bus. Why you didn't want to talk about it." She took a deep breath. Then she brushed the pine needles out of her hair. "If you tell anyone, I swear—" No, no," I said. "That's cool. It's just… the daughter of Zeus, the Lord of the Sky, afraid of heights?” IfsWantLooksSaidEyeLordSkyStupidHairMountainDaughterBreathsAngryHeightBusUsualSwearHer EyesApolloNeedlesDeep BreathZeusThalia Grace Book:The Titan's curse Source: The Titan's curse
