Robin McKinley Quotes

Rosie Hated Her Curly Golden Hair. When She Was Old Enough To Hold Minimal Conversations, The Itsy-bitsy-cutesycoo Sort Of Grown-ups Would Pull The Soft Ringlets Gently And Tell Her What A Pretty Little Girl She Was. She Would Stare At This Sort Of Grown-up And Say, "I Am Not Pretty. I Am Intelligent. And Brave." The Grown-ups Usually Thought This Was Darling, Which Only Made Her Angry, Perhaps Partly Because She Was Speaking The Truth, Although It Was Tricky To Differentiate Between "brave" And "foolhardy" At Three Or Four Years Old.
