“Diamonds are supposed to be a girl's best friend but it's impossible to know for sure where they have come from so I find it is safer just to avoid them altogether.”

“Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend. ”

“I was not so sure, but Jem told me I was being a girl, that girls always imagined things, that’s why other people hated them so, and if I started behaving like one I could just go off and find some to play with.”

“I don't suppose you have many friends. Neither do I. I don't trust people who say they have a lot of friends. It's a sure sign that they don't really know anyone.”

“Girls have to go somewhere dangerous every now and then just so they know they can find their way home.”

“Girl, next time he wants to know
What your problem is
Next time he wants to know
Where the anger comes from
Just tell him this time the problem's his
Tell him the anger just comes
It just comes.”

“the rest of the girls pretended not to notice. That's just what best friends do.”

“I know where I'm going.
But I don't want to leave.
I just have one problem
We're best friends, yeah?
We tied ourselves in knots
Doing cartwheels 'cross the floor
Just forget it alright.”

“I know where I can find you — in somebody's room. It's the price I have to pay, you're a big girl all the way.”

“I do then with my friends as I do with my books. I would have them where I can find them, but I seldom use them.”
