My sister is bold, independent, and not afraid to wear overalls. Some of her first words as a child were "that's not fair," and she's been committed to social justice ever since. She's my hero. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
Sebastian: Do you remember when you were eleven and had mono? Our parents wanted us to stay away from each other. Dad was afraid I'd catch it and I'd miss Little League practice. Anyway, you were upset because you were lonely and being all kinds of whiny about it...

Lena: I wasn't being whiny. I was stuck in my bedroom by myself for days, and if wasn't sleeping, I was bored.

Sebastian: You were sick and you didn't want to be alone. You wanted me.

Lena: I didn't want you, per se. I just wanted someone...

Sebastian: You've always wanted me. Not just anyone, but me. So, you not wanting me here has nothing to do with you being tired. I know why you don't Or at least I think I understand part of it, and we'll talk about the you-wanting-me part later. ~ Jennifer L. Armentrout

Lena quotes by Kami Garcia
You know longer work directly under her. ~ Lena Black
Lena quotes by Lena Black
What happens over the next few months is like the plot of a children's movie, the kind where a dog finds its owner in spite of insurmountable odds and prohibitive geography. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
I've always had a talent for recognizing when I am in a moment worth being nostalgic for. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham

Lena quotes by Lena Horne
He eradicates his lips slightly. ~ Lena Black

Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
He grinned and smoothed her hair back from her face. "That's exactly what we're about to do, darlin'. Negotiate. ~ Lena Diaz
Lena quotes by Lena Diaz
I saw his face change. His eyes widen. He lunged at me. I wouldn't let go. We stared into eachother's eyes and clawed at eachother's throats. As we rolled over the edge of the water tower and fell the whole way down, I was only thinking one thing ... Lena ~ Kami Garcia
Lena quotes by Kami Garcia
To be a good actor, you have to be very smart. But to be a great actor, you also have to have a streak of, 'I'm an idiot, a complete lunatic.' ~ Lena Olin
Lena quotes by Lena Olin
I felt like my parents were always involved with abstraction, and I wanted to do something very specific. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
In other hand of the enemy will arise the fortune hero. ~ Lena Hussain
Lena quotes by Lena Hussain
I think people like Lena Dunham really opened up the door to what was possible, and they've inspired young women to go into filmmaking and writing and directing and acting in a way that maybe they didn't before, because now there is a path and there are jobs. ~ Judd Apatow
Lena quotes by Judd Apatow
My muses were all the incredible, iconic women of glamour in Hollywood that I have worked with over 15 years. Anjelica Huston, Michelle Pfeiffer, Gwyneth Paltrow, Lena Dunham, Viola Davis, Rihanna, Demi Moore ... ~ Zac Posen
Lena quotes by Zac Posen
Lena Smoothed her hair. Crazy weather you have down here. ~ Kami Garcia
Lena quotes by Kami Garcia
I love what I do, I love every minute of it. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
People are often surprised by the fact that I laugh a lot, that I look like Lena Dunham, and that I don't want to make relationship dramas for the rest of my career. ~ Hannah Fidell
Lena quotes by Hannah Fidell
I need to talk to Lena There it was. I'd finally said it. The one thing that had kept me from being able to exhale all day. The thing that had made me feel like I couldn't sit down, like I couldn't stay. Like I had to get up and go somewhere, even if I had nowhere to go. ~ Kami Garcia
Lena quotes by Kami Garcia
The only time I felt like a weird exploiter - even though I knew I wasn't one - was when I was writing a sex scene between me and my adorable co-star [Adam Driver] in which he had to tell me how much he loved my potbelly. It seemed like a weird wish-fulfillment thing, where I'm directing my own fantasy. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
It's a very specific body. Even great reviews will be like: chubby, portly, overweight ... Sometimes I'm like, 'Ugh, how did I make myself the guinea pig for this?' But on the other hand, hating my body has not been my cross to bear in this life. Which I feel very lucky about. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
I used to be the youngest person on the set [of Bored To Death]. Now I'm very often the oldest person on the set. I feel lucky about that, to be honest. Lena [Dunham], by the way is a doll to me. So much fun to work with and really open. ~ Richard Masur
Lena quotes by Richard Masur
I didn't know why this was happening. The cruel reality of anxiety is that you never quite do. At the moments it should logically strike, I am fit as a fiddle. On a lazy afternoon, I am seized by a cold dread. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
Related: if someone says "I'm not going to hurt you" or "I'm not a creep," they probably are. Noncreeps don't feel the need to say it all the time. Never ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
My relationship to eating, my relationship to critiquing my own shape, all of that has changed since I've started viewing my body much more as a tool to do my work. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
I know the rules. I've been living here longer than you have."
He cracks a smile then. He nudges me back. "Hardly."
"Born and raised. You're a transplant." I nudge him again, a little harder, and he laughs and tries to catch hold of my arm. I squirm away, giggling, and he stretches out to tickle my stomach. "Country bumpkin!" I squeal, as he grabs out and wrestles me back onto the blanket, laughing.
"City slicker," he says, rolling over on top of me, and then kisses me. Everything dissolves: heat, explosions of color, floating. ~ Lauren Oliver
Lena quotes by Lauren Oliver
Ethan, I love you. Don't leave me. I can't do this without you.
If there was moonlight, I could have seen his face. But there was no moon, not now, and the only light came from the fire, still frozen, surrounding me on every side. The sky was empty, absolutely black. There was nothing. I had lost everything tonight.
I sobbed until I couldn't breathe and my fingers slipped through his, knowing I would never feel those fingers in my hair again.
Ethan. ~ Kami Garcia
Lena quotes by Kami Garcia
since my logic is simply lacking logic, and yet, I still keep doing it in order to satisfy some weird, twisted part of my mind. ~ Lena Mikado
Lena quotes by Lena Mikado
I can do it, yes I can." from "You can do it, yes you can." Think Tank Ink for Scriptwriters. ~ Lena "Think Tank Ink" Banks
Lena quotes by Lena
And then, I made myself sick to my stomach for an apologie that never came. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
As soon as she sees me she swings forward and hits a key on her keyboard. The music cuts off instantly. Strangely, the silence that follows seems just as loud. ~ Lauren Oliver
Lena quotes by Lauren Oliver
I wanted to be a poet. I had a really romantic idea about what that would mean. My parents knew some poets, and I liked how they dressed and acted, but I didn't really acknowledge that I only liked reading some bits of poetry while I was peeing or something. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
You know, I always think of myself as sort of ready for every criticism. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
I'm dreadful at schmoozing at Hollywood parties. ~ Lena Headey
Lena quotes by Lena Headey
cross my mind," Marshall replies with a tone, still cold toward him. Mom tries to salvage the mood. "I think it's wonderful! You make a charming couple. I wish you both the best." My dad gives her a side-glance, which she ignores. Olivia stands there, an angry expression on her usually pretty face. She's glaring at me with such rage and gives Hunt a confused, wounded ~ Lena Black
Lena quotes by Lena Black
Talking to her sister always made Rory feel grounded and real again, as if she'd been holding her breath without realizing it and could finally let it out, could really be herself for a few moments. Was this how real friendships felt? Or just family? CHAPTER ~ Lena Mae Hill
Lena quotes by Lena Mae Hill
He turned and narrowed his eyes at her. "There is a certain sort of girl who wants the wolf to eat out of her hand. If you are such, I'll warn you, she doesn't keep her fingers long."
Emily met his gaze " Some wolves can be tamed."
"Then we call them lapdogs, my dear- and you'll put no leash on me. ~ Lena Coakley
Lena quotes by Lena Coakley
I love being physical, but I am extreme either way. I can be superfit. And then I can be really lazy and ignore everything. ~ Lena Headey
Lena quotes by Lena Headey
I came to find you last night," Lena says more quietly. "When I knew there was going to be a raid...I snuck out. I was there when - when the regulators came. I barely made it out. Alex helped me. We hid in a shed until they were gone..."
I close my eyes and reopen them. I remember wiggling into the damp earth, bumping my hip against the window. I remember standing, and seeing the dark forms of bodies lying like shadows in the grass, and the sharp geometry of a small she shed, nestled in the trees.
Lena was there. It was almost unimaginable.
"I can't believe that. I can't believe you snuck out during a raid - for me." My throat feels thick again, and I will myself not to start crying. For a moment I am overwhelmed by a feeling so huge and strange, I have no name for it: It surges over the guilt and the shock and the envy; it plunges a hand into the deepest part of myself and roots me to Lena. ~ Lauren Oliver
Lena quotes by Lauren Oliver
When she writes, which isn't often, I get insanely jealous of the way her mind works, the fact that she seems to create for her own pleasure and not to make herself known. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
I wonder what Lena is doing now. I always wonder what Lena is doing. Rachel, too: both my girls, my beautiful, big-eyed girls. But I worry about Rachel less. Rachel was always harder than Lena, somehow. More defiant, more stubborn, less feeling . Even as a girl, she frightened me - fierce and fiery-eyed, with a temper like my father's once was.
But Lena . . . little darling Lena, with her tangle of dark hair and her flushed, chubby cheeks. She used to rescue spiders from the pavement to keep them from getting squashed; quiet, thoughtful Lena, with the sweetest lisp to break your heart. To break my heart: my wild, uncured, erratic, incomprehensible heart. I wonder whether her front teeth still overlap; whether she still confuses the words pretzel and pencil occasionally; whether the wispy brown hair grew straight and long, or began to curl.
I wonder whether she believes the lies they told her. ~ Lauren Oliver
Lena quotes by Lauren Oliver
You can't cheat if there are no rules ~ Lauren Oliver
Lena quotes by Lauren Oliver
I'm not whom you think I am." "You are exactly whom I think you are. ~ Lena Black
Lena quotes by Lena Black
Over time, my belief in many things has wavered: marriage, the afterlife, Woody Allen. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
I told them I belong to the same organizations and clubs Mrs. Roosevelt belongs to, but with a few brave exceptions, I was still unable to do films or television for the next seven years. ~ Lena Horne
Lena quotes by Lena Horne
It occurs to me that there is so much I never knew about him
his past, his role in the resistance, what his life was like in the Wilds, before he came to Portland, and I feel a flash of grief so intense it almost makes me cry out: not for what I lost, but for the chances I missed. ~ Lauren Oliver
Lena quotes by Lauren Oliver
When I graduated college I had a series of just humiliating jobs that I couldn't believe I was at. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
I want to hear your moans while I fuck you relentlessly. God, Gabrielle, I'm going to fuck your sweet cunt so hard you won't be able to move without thinking of me. ~ Lena Black
Lena quotes by Lena Black
I always want to challenge myself as a writer. I consider myself more of a writer than I do a director. ~ Lena Waithe
Lena quotes by Lena Waithe
Lena knew she had spent too much of her life in a state of passive dread, just waiting for something bad to happen. In a life like that, relief was as close as you got to happiness. ~ Ann Brashares
Lena quotes by Ann Brashares
He silenced the thought, already itching to get inside her, his tongue, or his fingers, or his cock. After all these years of wanting, he would gladly accept whatever access to her body she gave him. He just wanted in. ~ Amber Belldene
Lena quotes by Amber Belldene
All my freakouts have been pretty private and directed at family pets and/or people I have been dating for too short a time to freak out at in that way. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
I'm always having to be told to brush my hair. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
Grandma kept turning around in the front seat of their old Fiat saying, "Look at you girls! On, Lena, you are a beauty!"
Lena seriously wished she would stop saying that, because it was irritating, and besides, how was cranky Effie supposed to feel? ~ Ann Brashares
Lena quotes by Ann Brashares
I am comforted by the fact that I find a real range of female bodies beautiful, and I hope that other people do too. And even if they don't find it beautiful I hope they're just glad that something like it is happening on TV. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
Nobody black or white who really believes in democracy can stand aside now; everybody's got to stand up and be counted. ~ Lena Horne
Lena quotes by Lena Horne
Your first obligation as a writer is to tell the truth and to tell a good story. ~ Lena Waithe
Lena quotes by Lena Waithe
It was only when I started making short films in college and I was looking for girls to play the me-ish parts that I thought, Well, maybe I'm just going to try doing this myself before somebody else comes in and handles it. For a long time my acting was just a marriage of convenience between me and these characters that I was writing. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
Freedom isn't free at all, that it comes with the highest of costs. The cost of blood. ~ Lena Headey
Lena quotes by Lena Headey
Sebastian: The only better time to have told you this was the moment I realized I felt this way. I've had a million moments since then.

Lena: I can't even process this right now.

Sebastian: You don't have to. I just needed it out there. What does waiting do? None of us are promised a tomorrow. We learned that, didn't we? We don't always get a later. I'm done living like we do. ~ Jennifer L. Armentrout
Lena quotes by Jennifer L. Armentrout
I was obsessed with vampires when I was 13 or 14. ~ Lena Headey
Lena quotes by Lena Headey
I am grown up. That's why I cooked all this food! ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
It wasn't that he was a Confederate. Everyone in Gatlin County was related to the wrong side in the War Between the States. We were used to that by now. It was like being born in Germany after World War II, being from Japan after Pearl Harbor, or America after Hiroshima. History was a bitch sometimes. You couldn't change where you were from. But still, you didn't have to stay there. You didn't have to stay stuck in the past, like the ladies in DAR, or the Gatlin Historical Society, or the Sisters. And you didn't have to accept that things had to be the way they were, like Lena. Ethan Carter Wate hadn't, and I couldn't, either. ~ Kami Garcia
Lena quotes by Kami Garcia
She had a destiny, and it was wonderful, every girl's dream. Like Sleeping Beauty, awoken from a deep sleep by a charming vampire, Lena would have her very own fairy tale. ~ Amber Belldene
Lena quotes by Amber Belldene
I consume music the way other people consume movies. ~ Lena Olin
Lena quotes by Lena Olin
This was a family that consumed attractive, talented people. Its aim was to preserve beauty and genius through the centuries. For all eternity. To bottle the spark of magic that flares up in the soul of an artist, to preserve in wax the pain that is born in the heart of an actor, to dry and store the subtle, shifting images that hover above the head of a writer.

Madness. They didn't realize it was impossible. As the years pass by, feelings and emotions are blunted. And thousands of years of life kill all feelings. The soul becomes cold. It can't burn anymore. The farys took away from humans the one thing that I sought and valued in them most of all - their bright, vital feelings. ~ Lena Meydan
Lena quotes by Lena Meydan
'Lost Boys' is one of my all-time faves. I just thought it would be great to be a vampire. I remember this movie called 'Once Bitten,' which is about an '80s sort of power girl who became a vampire and was really, like, sexy. Hair like she was from 'Dallas,' shoulder pads, big earrings. ~ Lena Headey
Lena quotes by Lena Headey
I'm half Jewish half WASP. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
On Girls I like being a mouthpiece for the issues I think young females face today. It's always shocking when people question whether it's a feminist show. How could a show about women exploring women not be? Feminism isn't a dirty word. It's not like we're a deranged group who think women should take over the planet, raise our young on our own and eliminate men from the picture. Feminism is about women having all the rights that men have. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
I can't wait to be eighty. So I can shock people by saying "rim job" in casual conversation. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
The British lady, trying to make conversation, asked Zoe and me what our parents did if we were "bad girls." "When I'm bad, I get a time-out," Zoe said. "When I'm bad," I announced, "my father sticks a fork in my vagina." This is hard to share without alarm bells sounding. We're taught to listen to little girls, particularly when they say things about being sodomized with cutlery. Also my father makes sexually explicit artwork so he's probably already on the FBI's fork-in-vagina radar. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
I'm me, and I'm like nobody else. ~ Lena Horne
Lena quotes by Lena Horne
I don't have to be an imitation of a white woman that Hollywood sort of hoped I'd become. I'm me, and I'm like nobody else. ~ Lena Horne
Lena quotes by Lena Horne
This is the strange way of the world, that people who simply want to love are instead forced to become warriors. ~ Lauren Oliver
Lena quotes by Lauren Oliver
He wasn't ashamed to let everyone know he didn't fuck around on Lena, that he was waiting until she was ready to have sex with her. ~ Jenika Snow
Lena quotes by Jenika Snow
I am literally obsessed with Lena Dunham. She's, like, my favorite person in the world. I follow her on Twitter; I read her every day. ~ Emma Watson
Lena quotes by Emma Watson
I'm a fan of Louis C.K., I'm a fan of Lena Dunham. I love shows about people that other people would consider unlikable, or, like, the work of Woody Allen and Albert Brooks. ~ Jill Soloway
Lena quotes by Jill Soloway
I always thought the saddest feeling in life is when you're dancing in a really joyful way and then you hit your head on something. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
Women saying, 'I'm not a feminist' is my greatest pet peeve. Do you believe that women should be paid the same for doing the same jobs? Do you believe that women should be allowed to leave the house? Do you think that women and men both deserve equal rights? Great, then you're a feminist. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
One day I can be ecstatically up, and the next, I can feel this real blankness, a deadness almost, which is scary. ~ Lena Headey
Lena quotes by Lena Headey
Maybe he sees it on my face, that fraction of a second when
I let my guard down, because in that moment his expression softens and his eyes
go bright as flame and even though I barely see him move, suddenly he has
closed the space between us and he's wrapping his warm hands over my
shoulders - fingers so warm and strong I almost cry out - and saying, "Lena. I
like you, okay? That's it. That's all. I like you." His voice is so low and hypnotic
it reminds me of a song. I think of predators dropping silently from trees: I think
of enormous cats with glowing amber eyes, just like his. ~ Lauren Oliver
Lena quotes by Lauren Oliver
I'd love to do a comedy. Umm, I don't know when that will happen - maybe when I'm, like, 80 or something. But yeah, I'd love to. I'm just waiting for the right person to see my hilarious nature and offer me a comedy. ~ Lena Headey
Lena quotes by Lena Headey
I never start anything with a really overt, political, or even exactly artistic mission statement. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
It would probably be too easy a cop out to say that just Republican males hate me. Though there's a large swath of them, for sure. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
I find 'Chainsaw' to be a very relaxing film. ~ Lena Headey
Lena quotes by Lena Headey
I should stop apologizing for being overly analytical about this, even though I am sorry (not to you but in a deeper way, sorry for my brain chemistry and who I am. I do what I can that isn't heroin to modify it but I was born as anxious and obsessive as any incredibly gorgeous child ever could be.) ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
He nips the lobe of my ear and growls, "I'm going to fuck you until you see god. ~ Lena Black
Lena quotes by Lena Black
Do you mind?" she finally breathed.
His lips twitched. "What's good for the goose."
Lena felt ice slide down her spine.
Crap.
He had seen her checking him out. ~ Loretta Hill
Lena quotes by Loretta Hill
That being said, it's horrible when people you hate get things you want. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
Lena." Alex's voice is stronger, more forceful now, and it finally stops me.
He turns so that we're face-to-face. At that moment my shoes skim off the sand
bottom, and I realize that the water is lapping up to my neck. The tide is coming
in fast. "Listen to me. I'm not who - I'm not who you think I am."
I have to fight to stand. All of a sudden the currents tug and pull at me. It's
always seemed this way. The tide goes out a slow drain, comes back in a rush.
"What do you mean?"
His eyes - shifting gold, amber, an animal's eyes - search my face, and
without knowing why, I'm scared again. "I was never cured," he says. For a
moment I close my eyes and imagine I've misheard him, imagine I've only
confused the shushing of the waves for his voice. But when I open my eyes he's
still standing there, staring at me, looking guilty and something else - sad,
maybe? - and I know I heard correctly. He says, "I never had the procedure."
"You mean it didn't work?" I say. My body is tingling, going numb, and I
realize then how cold it is. "You had the procedure and it didn't work? Like what
happened to my mom?"
"No, Lena. I - " He looks away, squinting, says under his breath, "I don't
know how to explain. ~ Lauren Oliver
Lena quotes by Lauren Oliver
Don't put yourself in situations you'd like to run away from. But when you run, run back to yourself. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
You know, bad poetry I wrote in high school can still be found on the Internet, and, you know, there's a Web log of our college newspaper. You know, there's so many different stages of my creative development are sort of on-record if somebody were to choose to look for them. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
There are two types of women in particular who inspire my envy. The first is an ebullient one, happily engaged from morning until night, able to enjoy things like group lunches, spontaneous vacations to Cartagena with gangs of girlfriends, and planning other people's baby showers. The bigger existential questions don't seem to plague her, and she can clean her stove without ever once thinking, What's the point? It just gets dirty again anyway and then we die. Why don't I just stick my head ... ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
Theta loved pretty things more than air or food. She had a deep fondness for full red roses, pink shells, and starry sunsets. ~ Lena Goldfinch
Lena quotes by Lena Goldfinch
I'm not on Twitter, but I am on Instagram and follow Lena Dunham and Usher. ~ Michelle Dockery
Lena quotes by Michelle Dockery
But ambition is a funny thing: it creeps in when you least expect it and keeps you moving, even when you think you want to stay put. ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
My uncle's a lawyer and I remember going to see him in court and thinking, 'That's cool, too bad I could never be a lawyer.' ~ Lena Dunham
Lena quotes by Lena Dunham
