Quotes from Love Is a Many Trousered Thing

“Biology
The film turns out to be about bees. It is a film about a bee center. How crap is this going to be?

An hour later
That was the best thing I have seen for ages. We made Miss Wilson rewind the bit where the two queens were having a bitch fight.”
― Louise Rennison, quote from Love Is a Many Trousered Thing

“I always want to tell him everything. But
instead I said, “What’s your advice, Horn -
meister?”
And he started doing pretend beard stroking
and said, “Well, luuurve is a many trousered
thing. . . .”
― Louise Rennison, quote from Love Is a Many Trousered Thing

“I was going to say, No, no, don’t cry, I’ll go out
with you. Anything, but don’t cry. . . . But I still
couldn’t make my voice work.
And then he sort of cleared his throat and said,
“Georgia, don’t feel bad.
It’s always tough to hurt someone and tell them the truth. I know that. You’re a really lovely girl. Lovely . . . mad . . . but
lovely. I’ll always like you. Don’t worry.”
― Louise Rennison, quote from Love Is a Many Trousered Thing

“It’s hard to tell the truth sometimes, especially if you don’t want to hurt someone. And you did. You said what you feel. And you must do what is right for you, not what other people say is right.”
― Louise Rennison, quote from Love Is a Many Trousered Thing

“This is the first day of the rest of my life. So why is my hair sticking up like a cockerel?”
― Louise Rennison, quote from Love Is a Many Trousered Thing

Popular quotes

“it’s like in eco-economics where what you take from the system has to be balanced by what you give in to it, balanced or exceeded to create that anti-entropic surge which characterizes all creative life and especially this step across to a new world, this place that is neither nature nor culture, transformation of a planet into a world and then a home.”
― Kim Stanley Robinson, quote from Red Mars

“ان ما يميز المجتمع في العصور الوسطى عن المجتمع الحديث هو نقصه من الحرية الفردية. لقد كان كل فرد من الفترة المبكرة مقيدا بدوره في النظام الاجتماعي. لم تكن امام الانسان سوى فرصة واهنة للتحرك اجتماعيا من طبقة الى اخرى, بل لا يكود يكون قادرا على الحركة حتى جغرافيا من مدينة الى اخرى او من بلد الى آخر. وفيما عدا استثناءات قليلة عليه ان يمكث حيث ولد. بل انه كان في الاغلب غير حر في ان يلبس كما يهوى او ان يأكل كما يشاء. وكان على الاسطى ان يبع حسب سعر معين وكان على الفلاح ان يبيع عند مكان معين. وكان محرما على عضو النقابة ان يفشي اية اسرار تقنية خاصة بالانتاج لاي فرد ليس عضوا في نقابته وكان مرغما على ان يدع زملاءه من اعضاء نقابته يشاركونه في اية عملية شراء مفيدة للمادة الخام. لقد هيمنت على الحياة الشخصية والاقتصادية والاجتماعية قواعد والزامات لم يفلت منها من الناحية العملية اي مجال من مجالات النشاط.”
― Erich Fromm, quote from Escape from Freedom

“Shit, we’ve already done the for better or worse part and the in sickness and health, so let’s do the ’til death do us part too. Make a life with me, Ryles. Start with me. End with me. Complete me. Be my one and only first. Be my goddamn victory lane and my fucking checkered flag because God knows I’ll be yours if you’ll let me. Marry me, Ry?”
― K. Bromberg, quote from Crashed

“Religion is merely the law which binds man to his Creator: in purity it has but these elements--God, the Soul, and their Mutual Recognition; out of which, when put in practise, spring Worship, Love, and Reward.”
― Lew Wallace, quote from Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ

“Sometimes I wake up with such an immense sense of disappointment that I can hardly breathe.”
― Scarlett Thomas, quote from The End of Mr. Y

About BookQuoters

BookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.

We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.

Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
