“That night I really worked hard. I read the first two chapters in my social studies book four times. Then I sat on my bedroom floor and did my exercise. “I must—I must—I must increase my bust!” I did it thirty-five times and climbed into bed. Are you there God? It’s me, Margaret. I just did an exercise to help me grow. Have you thought about it God? About my growing, I mean. I’ve got a bra now. It would be nice if I had something to put in it. Of course, if you don’t think I’m ready I’ll understand. I’m having a test in school tomorrow. Please let me get a good grade on it God. I want you to be proud of me. Thank you.”
― Judy Blume, Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret

“Work is wholesome, and there is plenty for every one; it keeps us from ennut and mischief, is good for health and spirits, and gives
us a sense of power and independence better than money or
fashion.”
