Prophecy Girl Quotes

“You're the most annoying girl on the planet. You make me want to throw myself off a bridge. And, unfortunately, I am one hundred percent, head-over-heels, crazy in love with you.”
― Cecily White, Prophecy Girl

“Black suits you," he commented.
"Don't get any ideas, Romeo."

His frown curled into a slow grin, at once mocking and devastatingly handsome. "Ah, Shakespeare. 'How silver sweet lovers' tongues by night, like softest music to attending ears.'" He laughed. "Saw the movie, did you?"

"I also saw Buffy the Vampire Slayer," I said. "Guess which one I liked better.”

"Never diagnosed," the guy said.”

“Jackson," I asked carefully. "Are you on any illegal substances I should know about?"
"Nope."
"Eaten any strange looking mushrooms?"
"Not lately."
"Any near brushed with eternal damnation that might be affecting your judgement?"

He grinned. "That hard to believe, huh?”
― Cecily White, Prophecy Girl

“I thought you called dibs on him."
"I did, but you can have him first. After he dumps you, imagine how good I'll look in comparison."
"Thanks, that's not insulting at all.”
― Cecily White, Prophecy Girl

Yeesh. After a hundred thousand years of verbal evolution, could a guy not produce a better pick up line than that?”
― Cecily White, Prophecy Girl

“Dizziness?"
"No."
"Nausea? Vomiting? Diarrhea?"
"No, no, and yuck," I said. "Dr. G, can I please be excused?"
"Not yet. How many fingers am I holding up?"
"Eleven."
"Amelie."

I scowled. (...) "Sir, I'm fine. Just let me go to class. Please?"

Gunderman unhooked the blood pressure cuff from my arm and looked at me like I'd asked to borrow his credit card. "Young the lady, the fact you want to go to class gives me definite cause for concern.”
― Cecily White, Prophecy Girl

“Plus, I can't look at him the same since I ran into Mrs. Marino at our family reunion. It's not comforting to learn you've made out with your cousin."

"Third cousin once removed," I argued. "It's hardly incest."

"Life is like a box of chocolates, Lisa," Katie noted around a half-chewed carrot stick. "You never know what you're going to get."

Lisa narrowed her eyes, confused. "Did she just quote Forrest Gump at me?"
"It's Matt's fault," I said. "She lost a bet and now anytime his name gets mentioned, she has sixty seconds to drop a relevant movie quote."
"That's insane."

"Yup," Katie piped in, "insanity tuns in my family. Its practically gallops."
"Classic." I high-fived her.”
― Cecily White, Prophecy Girl

“Don't you remember? We swore never to go to these things without each other."
"That was second grade, Lisa."
"Like that makes it okay to ditch a pinkie swear?”
― Cecily White, Prophecy Girl

“Then he kissed me.
Which is a bit like saying, "Then the sun exploded and the walls started melting.”
― Cecily White, Prophecy Girl

“Just because a guy wears glasses and smiles at you doesn't mean he's nice." Lisa dug around in her purse for a tube of lip-gloss. "Maybe he's a visually impaired cannibal. Did you ever think of that? Like one of those serial killers you love so much."
"I don't love serial killers," Katie argued, defensive. "Not romantically, at least.”
― Cecily White, Prophecy Girl

“You can't deny we work well together. I could be your sidekick, if you want. Like Superman and Lois Lane. Or Peter Pan and Tinker Bell."
"Tinker Bell isn't menacing."
"Which proves how much you need me," I insisted. "Fairies are terrifying."

He sat up straighter and dusted off his pants. "Fairies don't exist. Neither do Graymasons."

"That's what humans say about vampires and werewolves," I argued. "So we're agreed.”
― Cecily White, Prophecy Girl

“Something simple-minded and morally vacuous? A hamster, perhaps? Maybe Veronica?"

"Excuse me!" Veronica griped form the back table.
"Those are gerbils, Mr. Charbonnet, not hamsters. And I'd thank you to minimise the insulting commentary."

"My apologies, sir." Alec nodded. "The gerbil is a noble beast. I shouldn't have compared it to Veronica.”
― Cecily White, Prophecy Girl

“Y'all probably watched a lot of television."
"We didn't have TV."
"Nintendo, then?"
He shook his head.
"Fantasy football? Xbox?" I frowned. "Please tell me you had Angry Birds."
"We had a library," he said, "and a few educational magazines."
"Huh. Well, that's just tragic.”
― Cecily White, Prophecy Girl

“Angels don't exist.

Flawless skin, perfect hair, flowing white robes, all topped off with an adorable set of fluffy pink wings. Yeah. If you see that wandering around, you've probably stumbled onto the set of a Victoria's Secret catalog shoot. Prepare to get your butt kicked by security.”
― Cecily White, Prophecy Girl

“I felt my heart expanding, making room for him to movie in permanently.”
― Cecily White, Prophecy Girl

“No girl has ever offered to feed my enemies' fingernails to her cat before."
"Lisa's cat. And don't flatter yourself. At the moment, I'm tempted to feed him your fingernails.”
― Cecily White, Prophecy Girl

“I frowned at him. "Isn't sarcasm the opiate of the masses?"
"You're thinking of religion," he replied. "Sarcasm is the Xanax of the morally bereft.”
― Cecily White, Prophecy Girl

“It looks like my grandma's old VW Rabbit after the Berlin Wall fell on it. Twice.”
― Cecily White, Prophecy Girl

“Your pupils are dilated," he said. "I think-"
"Yes?" I breathed.
"I think you have a concussion."
I blinked. A concussion? That's so not where I thought he was going.”
― Cecily White, Prophecy Girl

“Good grief," Alec muttered.
"Be afraid," Katie quoted. "Be very afraid."
Alec squinted at her. "That sounds familiar. Revelations?"
"David Cronenberg. It's a long, scary story."
"I like scary stories.”
― Cecily White, Prophecy Girl

“She broke up with you again, didn't she?"
He flopped back in his chair, lanky legs hooked at the ankles. "She also reserved a tuxedo for me with a cummerbund matched to her formal dress. I sense ambivalence."
"Very perceptive.”
― Cecily White, Prophecy Girl

“Looks like you could use a hand," he observed. "Or maybe a bucket."
"A bucket?"
"Of water. I hear that's what they use on fire." The guy smirked. "Unless you've got a better idea.”
― Cecily White, Prophecy Girl

“Oh, shiitake mushrooms," I muttered.”
― Cecily White, Prophecy Girl

“Lyle, I don't care who you date."
"Good, because I want you to know that thing with Skye was also a mistake. We both knew it as soon as it happened."
I nodded. "Again with the not caring.”
― Cecily White, Prophecy Girl

“I thought you liked my insane schemes."
"I see value in them," she qualified.”
― Cecily White, Prophecy Girl

“That sucked."
"My thoughts exactly."
"Maybe we should take tonight off."
She rolled to her side just enough to shoot me a nasty look. "Maybe you should get a boyfriend.”
― Cecily White, Prophecy Girl

“Lisa's friendship was less of a choice than a fact of life. It worked out well - kind of symbiotic, actually. I beat up anyone who messed with her, and she made sure my homework got done. Fair trade, right?

Honestly, if not for Lisa's constant nagging, I'd probably still be crouched in our kindergarten sandbox eating glue and playing Neferet demons.”
― Cecily White, Prophecy Girl

“You were just too nice to tell me to buzz off."
"I did tell you to buzz off," he pointed out. "Several times."
"I'm not the best with feedback.”
― Cecily White, Prophecy Girl

“What have you done?"
"Sir," Jack held up his hands in surrender. "I know how this looks. You have every right to be upset."

"Upset?" he fumed. "Do I look upset to you?"

"You look upset to me," I noted.”
