Meisjes

Ik heb de voorbije maand geen quotes verzameld, dus geen overzicht. Ik ben wel begonnen in Nick Hornby's High Fidelity, tevens één van mijn favoriete films. Ver zit ik nog niet, maar ik ben wel al heel wat citeer-materiaal tegengekomen. Vandaag eentje over meisjes:

We had no irony when it came to girls, though. There was just no time to develop it. One moment they weren't there, not in any form that interested us, anyway, and the next you couldn't miss them; they were everywhere, all over the place. One moment you want to clonk them on the head for being your sister, or someone else's sister, and the next you wanted to ... actually, we didn't know what we wanted the next, but is was something. Almost overnight, all these sisters (there was no other kind of girl, not yet) had become interesting, disturbing, even.

En nog eentje:

Penny Hardwick was a nice girl, and, nowadays, I'm all for nice girls, although then I wasn't so sure. She had a nice mum and dad, and a nice house [...] She had nice manners - my mum loved her - and she always got nice school reports. [...] Lots of people liked her. She was so nice, in fac, that she wouldn't let me put my hand underneath or even on top of her bra, and so I finished with her, although obviously I didn't tell her why. She cried, and I hated her for it, because she made me feel bad.

Als je meer wil kan je ook even de wiki-pagina bekijken. Hou het ook in de gaten er komen zeker nog stukjes bij.
