That’s the thing. I’ve never met anyone like you, Tess. You think you’re a no one? You’re so wrong. So wrong. You stand in a room with all the Angelas, even the Ellies. None of...

It’s not macho to read? Nonsense. Reading is a stouthearted activity, disporting courage, keenness, stick-to-itness. It is also, in my experience, one of the most thrilling and enduring delights of life, equal to a home...

The boys approached me and asked if they could do it. The seniors grew up with him. It was a nice thing to do.

And Nate? You kiss like a slobbering dog, you have bad breath, and you wouldn’t know how to punch the right buttons on a girl if we came with manuals. Happy Thanksgiving, Jackass.

Ergo: girls should always make the first move, because (a) they are, on the whole, less likely to be rejected than guys, (b) that way, girls will never get kissed unless they want to be...

It’s a secret code,” said Calvin. “Girls are not not like boys. If a boy wants to kill you, he says ‘I’m going to kill you.’ If a girl wants to kill you, she says,...

I like it when people don’t expect us to do anything and expect the big boys to do something. Maybe we sneak up and bite them. We are like Cinderella.

If that goes in, it’s a completely different game ? the intensity of the boys picks up. I felt in the first half if we would have put one of the chances we had, it...

…he would tell stories about the Holy City, about Solomon, a just king, a poet-king, a monarch with a thousand concubines. We weren’t quite sure what concubines were, but we guessed: a concubine … Concubines!...

They played with the big boys. A few times they’d come home crying and say something about it. I’d say, ‘If you’re going to play with the big boys you’re just going to have to...

I hadn’t really tapered them that much for the sectional as some of the girls and boys were saying they were still sore. So I’m going to really drop off and not practice much other...

I didn’t answer, but, please—nothing is obvious with boys. For such simple creatures, they are quite baffling.

He finds himself bored by the shenanigans of highly spirited young men. Their concerns reside somewhere between balder and dash.

The humiliation that Jane had felt turned to something else–grief perhaps, or regret. Regret that she had not known how to act with a boy, regret that she had not been wiser.

Books make me happy, boys make me sad.

I don’t settle in any other area of my life when it comes to excellence, so why should I lower my standards when it comes to boys?

When you knock off work tonight, go looking for Toby, because, trust me, he will be looking for you.

He gave me a warm smile, and I blinked, realizing he was cute. I’d never really hadthe luxury of noticing cuteness or lack thereof in guys. Mostly it was the lethal/nonlethal distinction that I went...

I would guess that it’s probably easier to get the girls to dance with their dads than get the boys to dance with their moms.

Maybe before you start flirting with boys and kissing boys and trying to date boys, you should know who you are and where you stand.

We use the outdoor elements to attract the boys to scouting, and when they attend weekly meetings and do community service projects, they don’t realize they’re learning.

Evan stopped completely. He was staring at her with those intense eyes. Staring right into her. Just like he had in those couple of moments when she had thought for a split second, that he...

Boys are like elastic bands. It doesn’t mean that boys are made of elastic, which is a plus because nobody wants a boyfriend made out of rubber. On the other hand, if they were made...

I need a boy who thinks with his big head, not his little one. Since they do not exist, I have fashioned my own.

He taunted me, “Pony boy, pony boy,” because I liked ponies. Pony boy. He always came to vent his anger of dragons on me. They must really like us. They hide behind their Wasp Queen...

Everything is about them, not the dying boys and girls in the arena.

He snuffles. Oh, no.He’s not going to cry, is he? Because even though it’s sweet when guys cry, I am so not prepared for this.Girl scouts didn’t teach me what to do with emotionally unstable...

I pay the schoolmaster, but it is the school boys who educate my son.

You must tell Lady Alanna that sometime. I’d do it from a distance.

There is something inside all boys that drives us to go away again and again and again.

Bring ‘only’ good memories from the past to your present and that will bring you all the happiness,now and in future.

Sometimes I wish I was a guy. Life’s so much easier for them.

Always live the adventure.

In all honesty, I don’t have any regrets about the game. Especially, when the boys didn’t give up. They were fighting right until the end. This was a great high school basketball game.

I was twelve. You were girls, and therefore an entirely different species.

Hutch called into the semidarkness of The Shed. ‘Somebody’s coming, Heck!’Then he, with the rest, faded from sight with that uncanny quickness known only to creatures of the wild and young children who are, after...

The girl. Was that who I was? I was the girl just like they were the boys. Was that how we were going to address each other for the entirety of this year? How family-feeling.

AHA!” interrupted Officer Shrift, making another note in his little book. “Just as I thought: boys are the cause of everything.

It was a tough loss for the boys. Benjamin Russell has a good boy’s team. We were playing without our regular number one, three and six.

What George was thinking was that the late king Herod had been unjustly blamed for a policy which had been both statesmanlike and in the interests of the public. He was blaming the mawkish sentimentality...

Yes, boys are a little like shoes. Why? Well…They can be useful. But mainly…They are nice to look at. Getting the right one can be a lovely accessory to an outfit. There are times when...

Our boys team had a great race. Kyle was right behind Sam and Nils. He has been skiing very strong for us.

I have had my share with boys,longings are for men heron.

The e-mail itself is perfectly consistent with the boys’ unequivocal assertion that no sexual assault took place that evening. The e-mail demonstrates that its writer is completely unaware that any act or event remotely similar...

There was no denying it. Boys grabbed him. Their loveliness tore him apart. The world was a wonder after all.

Sometimes I hear the world discussed as the realm of men. This is not my experience. I have watched men fall to the ground like leaves. They were swept up as memories, and burned. History...

That red hair of hers was a warning signal. To this day I laugh at how she beat those boys.

I choose you.

He wishes he could remember everything. Anything. He doesn’t sense a bone in his body that can feel compassion or worthiness. Self-pity hides away as well, the lowest form of emotion not even capable of...

They say it’s the woman’s prerogative to change her mind. But that’s wrong. Guys are the one who get to say, “You know what? I don’t want to be with you after all.” They get...
