Barbie Quotes

“Trust me on this. Sunsets are like medicine. They force you to stay still awhile. Admire the world. Remember you’re here, you’re alive, and the world is so beautiful.”
― Alex Aster, Barbie: Dreamscape

“I’m facing my mother’s statue, located between the base of the two curling staircases in the school’s main hallway. It’s sculpted in her likeness and dressed with the outfit she died fighting in— the glimmering pink armor she designed.
Yes, she was a warrior and a fashion icon. She contained multitudes.”

“But I always, only and devotedly, wear pink, since it was my mother’s favorite color.
The shade of pink that Wardrobe offers varies almost daily, usually corresponding to my moods: magenta when I’m feeling bold, dusty pink when I’m feeling reflective, bubble gum on Tuesdays, candy pink on holidays, lavender when I’m sad (never!).
Clothing has always been my armor. My mother made all my outfits. It was her talent. And when I stand before Wardrobe every morning, deciding how to present myself to the world, I can almost feel her, shining through satiny fabrics and intricate designs, cloaking me in love.”

“Misty and Bonbon finally finish their last pull of my braid, and I make my way back into my bedroom, my feet stepping from frosty strawberry-veined marble to warm wood. Buttery sunlight spills from my curtain-framed windows. The middle pane is stained glass and the rose-colored pieces filter the morning through them, bathing my room in pink light.
I told you… dreamy.”
― Alex Aster, Barbie: Dreamscape

“My life is a dream.
Rose-colored enchanted birds wake me up every morning with a warm cup of tea. They pull back my sunset-tinged, spun-from-clouds (yes, actual clouds) comforter, help me up from my pillow (also a cloud, sunrise dipped), then carry me by the ribbons on the shoulders of my nightdress to the bathroom to get ready, where a bath is already running, pearlescent bubbles foaming and effervescing.”
