Daydream Nation (film)

"When I know people hate me, instead of trying to change their minds, I get defensive and weird and become the exact girl they think I am."

"Don't we all wanna be somebody different sometimes? Someone smarter and sexier and bolder than we really are?"

"My mom once told me that if you ever want to make a man happy... flatter his vanity. Tell him he's handsome. She said not to bother calling him interesting or clever, because that's what their bosses and colleagues are for. But every man carries a secret dream of being handsome, and desperately yearns to be recognized as such."

"[explaining a dream she had with Thurston] I knew then that our love was not some idealized state, but a union of secrets and flaws, and it broke my heart to think such things."

"[in a car, about to have sex with Thurston] Thurston, there is a seatbelt stabbing into my ovaries. I think it might be a little late for... romance and stuff."

"I know you probably think I'm a manipulative bitch for sleeping with two guys, but try looking at it this way: the sexual revolution is just like any other revolution—there's gonna be casualties."

"People will tell you nothing matters, the whole world's about to end soon anyway. But those people are looking at life the wrong way. I mean... things don't need to last forever to be perfect."
