Daniel Handler Quotes
I Hadn't Felt Such Disgust For A Boy Since The Early Days, When They'd Tease Girls On The Playground, Kicking Us And Throwing Gravel And Raising Their Voices In High Screechy Mockery. "They Do That Because They Like You," All The Adults Said, Grinning Like Pumpkins. We Believed Them, Back Then. Back Then We Thought It Was True, And We Were Drawn Toward All That Meanness Because It Meant We Were Special, Let Them Kick Us, Let Them Like Us. We Liked Them Back. But Now It Was Turning Out That Our First Instincts Were Right. Boys Weren't Mean Because They Liked You; It Was Because They Were Mean.
