He did not let me move. I was heated up in his warmth, could feel him on my lips.. and then he said, "I.. I want to kiss you" I opened my eyes, his eyes were looking at my lips and I said, "then, Kiss me"
He was a gentleman. Well behaved, decent, shy, and all desirous to make love with me.
..and I ended up saying, "Gentleman, do it gently ~ Himmilicious
Well Behaved quotes by Himmilicious
Daisy!" He walked away from the tree, turning her so that she could not avoid looking at him, and used his most severe tone. "A well-behaved young lady does not attempt to dislocate her master's shoulder." She gave him a sorrowful look, and he was tempted to delude himself into thinking she understood, but just at that moment, the damned rodent scampered down the tree, and she tried to take off again. This time he was ready for her. Blinkers might be a good idea. * ~ Ella Quinn
Well Behaved quotes by Ella Quinn
Much of what is considered "good" in little girls is considered downright repulsive in little boys. Physical timidity or hypercautiousness, being quietly "well behaved", and depending on others for help and support are thought to be natural - if not outright charming - in girls. Boys, however, are actively discouraged from the dependent forms of relating, which are considered "sissyish" in male children. ~ Colette Dowling
Well Behaved quotes by Colette Dowling
Polite, socially acceptable suppression of our rage is "inauthentic," insofar as we are not sharing our full selves. And that is part of trust, too. Part of being trustworthy is meeting expectations and staying in line, as if you were a well-behaved woman. ~ Emily Nagoski
Well Behaved quotes by Emily Nagoski
Let me tell you about this leg, Miss Oldridge," he said. "This used to be a modest, well-behaved leg, quietly going about its business, troubling nobody. But ever since it was hurt, it has become tyrannical."

Her expression eased another degree, and amusement glinted in her eyes, like faint, distant stars in a midsummer night's sky.

Encouraged, he went on, "This limb is selfish, surly, and ungrateful. When English medical expertise declared the case hopeless, we took the leg to a Turkish healer. He plied it with exotic unguents and cleaned and dressed it several times a day. By this means he staved off the fatal and malodorous infection it should have suffered otherwise. Was the leg grateful? Did it go back to work like a proper leg? No, it did not."

Lips twitching, she made a sympathetic murmur.

"This limb, madam," he said, "demanded months of boring exercises before it would condescend to perform the simplest movements. Even now, after nearly three years of devoted care and maintenance, it will fly into a fit over damp weather. And this, may I remind you, is an English leg, not one of your delicate foreign varieties. ~ Loretta Chase
Well Behaved quotes by Loretta Chase
A capable, clear-eyed sovereign, she knew how to build a fleet, suppress an insurrection, control a currency, alleviate a famine. An eminent Roman general vouched for her grasp of military affairs. Even at a time when women rulers were no rarity she stood out, the sole female of the ancient world to rule alone and to play a role in Western affairs. She was incomparably richer than anyone else in the Mediterranean. And she enjoyed greater prestige than any other woman of her age ... Cleopatra descended from a long line of murderers and faithfully upheld the family tradition but was, for her time and place, remarkably well behaved. She nonetheless survives as a wanton temptress, not the last time a genuinely powerful woman has been transmuted into a shamelessly seductive one. ~ Stacy Schiff
Well Behaved quotes by Stacy Schiff
The exchange between plants and people has shaped the evolutionary history of both. Farms, orchards, and vineyards are stocked with species we have domesticated. Our appetite for their fruits leads us to till, prune, irrigate, fertilize, and weed on their behalf. Perhaps they have domesticated us. Wild plants have changed to stand in well-behaved rows and wild humans have changed to settle alongside the fields and care for the plants - a kind of mutual taming. ~ Robin Wall Kimmerer
Well Behaved quotes by Robin Wall Kimmerer
And fantasy it was, for we were not strong, only aggressive; we were not free, merely licensed; we were not compassionate, we were polite; not good, but well behaved. We courted death in order to call ourselves brave, and hid like thieves from life. ~ Toni Morrison
Well Behaved quotes by Toni Morrison
The historian Major-General Sir David Stewart of Garth described them as an 'excellent, orderly regiment of well-behaved serviceable men, fit for any duty' and the novelist Sir Walter Scott used his journal to call them a 'regiment of Sutherland giants'. (One of their number was Samuel McDonald, a native of Lairg, who was seven feet four inches tall. Throughout the army he was known as 'Big Sam'.) ~ Trevor Royle
Well Behaved quotes by Trevor Royle
You're a tough one, Katie Macauley. But I mean to talk you round to enduring me at the least. Take a ride with me. I'll be a perfect gentleman, my word of honor." An afternoon away from her endless list of chores would be nice. But only if Tavish behaved himself. "A perfect gentleman?" The devilishly handsome grin he produced was not terribly reassuring, yet there was sincerity in his eyes. "You'll hardly recognize me I'll be so well behaved. ~ Sarah M. Eden
Well Behaved quotes by Sarah M. Eden
When I met my designs in the market of a remote village in the West Indies, or in the airport restaurant in Zurich, I felt like the mother of many well-behaved children. ~ Eva Zeisel
Well Behaved quotes by Eva Zeisel
I was like one of those nauseatingly nice children. I was very, very well behaved and boring. ~ Helena Bonham Carter
Well Behaved quotes by Helena Bonham Carter
In primary school I was terrible. I don't think I was particularly well behaved in high school, but I started to apply myself. ~ Jonathan LaPaglia
Well Behaved quotes by Jonathan LaPaglia
I was not very well-behaved. I remember I was a discipline problem. I was a typical American male at twenty years old, and I was causing trouble whenever I could. ~ Peter DeLuise
Well Behaved quotes by Peter DeLuise
What Claire could do with the edible flowers that grew around the cranky apple tree in the backyard was the stuff of legend. Everyone knew that if you got Claire to cater your anniversary party, she would make aioli sauce with nasturtiums and tulip cups filled with orange salad, and everyone would leave the party feeling both jealous and aroused. And if you got her to cater your child's birthday party, she would serve tiny strawberry cupcakes and candied violets and the children would all be well behaved and would take long afternoon naps. Claire had a true magic to her cooking when she used her flowers. ~ Sarah Addison Allen
Well Behaved quotes by Sarah Addison Allen
My brother was scouted for a commercial when he was three, and it was just because he could speak clearly and was well behaved, basically. I don't think he had any amazing acting ability at that age - although he is actually a great actor. ~ Rose McIver
Well Behaved quotes by Rose McIver
I appreciate my my sleep In sleep my conversation is witty My home is dusted My office work is up to date The dog is even well behaved And food is on the table on time But then when I'm asleep I don't have you to clutter and confuse My hungry heart ~ Nikki Giovanni
Well Behaved quotes by Nikki Giovanni
Ah, I see. In that case, well-behaved ravens. They will mind their manners. ~ Margaret Rogerson
Well Behaved quotes by Margaret Rogerson
Only the passionate were immortal, it seemed. If you fought, screwed, screamed, laughed, or otherwise experienced life intensely, for better or worse, you left a record. Those who lived a quiet, well-behaved, well-tempered life? Gone without a trace. ~ Magnus Flyte
Well Behaved quotes by Magnus Flyte
It's the look you give a well-behaved imbecile, an insurance policy against cosmic malevolence. ~ Dominic Smith
Well Behaved quotes by Dominic Smith
I was brought up to do my duty. Not to be vain, not to shout from the rooftops about my virtues - to be modest and well-behaved. I'm totally wrong for show business. ~ Terry Wogan
Well Behaved quotes by Terry Wogan
I'm from a fancy, well-raised background. We were very well-behaved and not allowed to swear. It's the kind of place where people hide their problems under the rug and pretend it's all perfect. Eventually, you get sick of that. ~ Tove Lo
Well Behaved quotes by Tove Lo
Just because it's jewellery it doesn't mean we have to clam up and be well-behaved. ~ Lisa Walker
Well Behaved quotes by Lisa  Walker
Walking onto his terrace those first months to see in the distance the well-behaved mountain sitting under the sun might provoke a reverie about the calm that follows catastrophe. ~ Susan Sontag
Well Behaved quotes by Susan Sontag
The highest compliment I could ever receive about my kids - and I can say that this does happen frequently - is when the in-flight crew say to me, 'Your children are wonderful. They are so well-behaved.' Every time I am told that, I could weep. ~ Kate Winslet
Well Behaved quotes by Kate Winslet
Misbehaviour does not require a cape, shades or a bazooka. It is in decisions we make that challenge the notions adopted to keep us well behaved ~ Malebo Sephodi
Well Behaved quotes by Malebo Sephodi
My parents are very well-behaved. If anything, if my Mom were here right now, she would hug and kiss every one of you hello, and then she would feed you. ~ Tina Fey
Well Behaved quotes by Tina Fey
It's not pretty and perfect I am feeling today. Not in the mood for soft and contained. Not light or well-behaved or sugary sweet. No. I'm not willing to round off my sharp edges or make safe the danger zones. Not for you. Not for anyone, really. There's no room in me for gentle today. It's explore at your own risk, full on howl time. Oh, I can make nice. And I do. You'll only get past the surface if I deem you worthy. But my inner landscape? It's pure wilderness, darling, and the wolves are running. The moon went dark last night, loves, and something crashed and spiraled so something else could rise. It's time for music that courts the shadows and for dancing that sheds skin. Creation is calling and my muse, she likes it rough. Are you with me? Good. Now we can begin... ~ Jeanette LeBlanc
Well Behaved quotes by Jeanette LeBlanc
I also remember my own smugness… that somehow, because I was so careful and well behaved - the attentive listening, the regular sex, my self-appointed role as #1 Fan of Adam Carver - our marriage was insulated. That what happened to those other foolish couples would never happen to us because I was so on guard against it. I lost myself in becoming Adam's wife, and later, the girls' mother. I forgot to be a person, too, a person who was well within her rights to say, "I'm too tired, tonight, honey. How about a back rub instead? I would really appreciate it. ~ Kristan Higgins
Well Behaved quotes by Kristan Higgins
If well-behaved women seldom make history, it is not only because gender norms have constrained the range of female activity but because history hasn't been very good at capturing the lives of those whose contributions have been local and domestic. For centuries, women have sustained local communities, raising food, caring for the sick, and picking up the pieces after wars. ~ Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
Well Behaved quotes by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
It is to be noted that Jesus never says that impoverished people are necessarily good, or wealthy people necessarily bad. That would not have been true. Wealthy people are, as a class, better than impoverished people, more moral, more intellectual, more well-behaved. There is only one class in the community that thinks more about money than the rich, and that is the poor. The poor can think of nothing else. That is the misery of being poor. What Jesus does say is that man reaches his perfection, not through what he has, not even through what he does, but entirely through what he is. ~ Oscar Wilde
Well Behaved quotes by Oscar Wilde
The attempt to be an ideal parent, that is, to behave correctly toward the child, to raise her correctly, not to give to little ortoo much, is in essence an attempt to be the ideal child
well behaved and dutiful
of one's own parents. But as a result of these efforts the needs of the child go unnoticed. I cannot listen to my child with empathy if I am inwardly preoccupied with being a good mother; I cannot be open to what she is telling me. ~ Alice Miller
Well Behaved quotes by Alice Miller
When we go through life believing that we need mercy, we're more likely to extend it. As humans our tendency is to want justice for others, but mercy for ourselves.
It doesn't work that way. We reap what we sow. (Galatians 6:7) And the timing isn't ours - it's God's. He often extends us mercy, not when we are well behaved, but when we are miserable, helpless, wicked, ungodly, and powerless. Even when we bring on our problems by our own choices, His mercy comes when we cry for it. To refuse to cry for it because we feel unworthy, is a win for Satan. ~ Toni Sorenson
Well Behaved quotes by Toni Sorenson
Oh, when I was in love with you,
Then I was clean and brave,
And miles around the wonder grew
How well did I behave.
And now the fancy passes by,
And nothing will remain,
And miles around they'll say that I
Am quite myself again. ~ A.E. Housman
Well Behaved quotes by A.E. Housman
I mean, I get it, In life, we're judged according to what we've done. And women are consistently assessed more harshly. A New York University study showed that women have to do much more than men to be perceived as equally productive in the workplace. So we keep chugging along. Me? I'm great. I got so much done today! We want to have spotless homes, healthy-yet-gourmet meals, executive-track promotions, well-behaved children, a robust spiritual life, spotless community service, hot sex, and on top of all that, some time to relax. But herein lies the conundrum, If we continue to pursue productivity for productivity's sake, women will continue to position ourselves diametrically opposed to satisfaction.

You may feel like the most productive person alive, but without a purpose, you're just busy. ~ Erin Falconer
Well Behaved quotes by Erin Falconer
I was like a chocolate in a box, looking well behaved and perfect in place, all the while harboring a secret center. ~ Deb Caletti
Well Behaved quotes by Deb Caletti
I have searched all over the world but failed to see a virtue better than being well-behaved. ~ Rumi
Well Behaved quotes by Rumi
But if you do not find an intelligent companion, a wise and well-behaved person going the same way as yourself, then go on your way alone, like a king abandoning a conquered kingdom, or like a great elephant in the deep forest. ~ Gautama Buddha
Well Behaved quotes by Gautama Buddha
Never a bedtime in their house, no rules, no supervision, nothing. That's why he's such a well-behaved boy. Don't you see? Nothing to rebel against. ~ Andre Aciman
Well Behaved quotes by Andre Aciman
Mr. Speaker, there are some in this Chamber who believe that Christians, like well-behaved children, should be seen and not heard ... Christians will not remain silent. We are here to stay. ~ Tom DeLay
Well Behaved quotes by Tom DeLay
Cleopatra descended from a long line of murderers and faithfully upheld the family tradition but was, for her time and place, remarkably well behaved. ~ Stacy Schiff
Well Behaved quotes by Stacy Schiff
Wages ought not to be insufficient to support a frugal and well-behaved wage-earner. ~ Pope Leo XIII
Well Behaved quotes by Pope Leo XIII
My bottom is my deliquent daughter. I lavish praise upon her cheeks when she's well behaved and when she gets out of control, I pretend she isn't mine. ~ Anna Johnson
Well Behaved quotes by Anna Johnson
He'd never expected to have a marriage like his parents' - few people on earth ever had. But at the very least Gabriel had hoped to marry an accomplished and respectable woman who would run his household efficiently and raise well-behaved children. Instead, it seemed he was going to marry a forest sprite. With an original mind. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Well Behaved quotes by Lisa Kleypas
The truth is I like the crazy ones better than the well-behaved ones normally because they tend to be the passionate ones. They never come after you if you're holding up your end. The only thing that's bad about an abusive director is that they bully the people they can. ~ Willem Dafoe
Well Behaved quotes by Willem Dafoe
Whilst Man, however well-behaved,
At best is but a monkey shaved! ~ Charles Darwin
Well Behaved quotes by Charles Darwin
What are we promoting in society? Well-behaved automatons that spew back what they learned in a book. That's not science. You can get a parrot to do that. ~ Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Well Behaved quotes by Neil DeGrasse Tyson
The reality is that well-behaved students aren't behaving themselves because of the school discipline program. They're behaving themselves because they have the skills to handle life's challenges in an adaptive fashion. ~ Ross W. Greene
Well Behaved quotes by Ross W. Greene
I am not particularly well-behaved. ~ Justin Welby
Well Behaved quotes by Justin Welby
The animal does not rebel against its own kind. Consider animals: how just they are, how well-behaved, how they keep to the time-honored, how loyal they are to the land that bears them, how they hold to their accustomed routes, how they care for their young, how they go together to pasture, and how they draw one another to the spring. There is not one that conceals its overabundance of prey and lets its brother starve as a result. There is not one that tries to enforce its will on those of its own kind. Not a one mistakenly imagines that it is an elephant when it is a mosquito. The animal lives fittingly and true to the life of its species, neither exceeding nor falling short of it.

He who never lives his animal must treat his brother like an animal. Abase yourself and live your animal so that you will be able to treat your brother correctly. You will thus redeem all those roaming dead who strive to feed on the living. And do not turn anything you do into a law, since that is the hubris of power. ~ C.G. Jung
Well Behaved quotes by C.G. Jung
Canadians are very well behaved, they don't throw their food. ~ Calvin Trillin
Well Behaved quotes by Calvin Trillin
I'm not very good with conventional, prim-and-proper people who are well-behaved, grown-up. ~ Lesley Nicol
Well Behaved quotes by Lesley Nicol
Well behaved women do not make history. ~ Mae West
Well Behaved quotes by Mae West
Congress is like first grade, only not as well behaved. ~ Sean Patrick Maloney
Well Behaved quotes by Sean Patrick Maloney
The 'futures' and 'careers' for which American students now prepare are for the most part intellectual and moral wastelands. This chrome-plated consumers' paradise would have us grow up to be well-behaved children. But an important minority of men and women coming to the front today have shown they will die rather than be standardized, replaceable, and irrelevant. ~ Mario Savio
Well Behaved quotes by Mario Savio
It's the well-behaved children that make the most formidable revolutionaries. They don't say a word, they don't hide under the table, they eat only one piece of chocolate at a time. But later on, they make society pay dearly. ~ Jean-Paul Sartre
Well Behaved quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
Well behaved people and dreamers seldom make history. In fact, history has no place for such people. ~ Ziad K. Abdelnour
Well Behaved quotes by Ziad K. Abdelnour
By the time I went up to Cambridge, I was extremely quiet and well behaved, although I now meet people who remember me as not like that at all. ~ Claire Tomalin
Well Behaved quotes by Claire Tomalin
Not if you know the secret,' he countered, leaning closer. There was a slight Jack Nicholson vibe to all this. I drew back, faintly alarmed. 'It's simple. If you want a well-behaved goshawk, you just have to do one thing. Give 'em the opportunity to kill things. Kill as much as possible. Murder sorts them out.' And he grinned. ~ Helen Macdonald
Well Behaved quotes by Helen Macdonald
I do not in general have the impression that sexual abstinence helps produce energetic, independent men of action or original thinkers, bold liberators and reformers. Far more often it produces well-behaved weaklings who later merge into the great mass of those who habitually, if reluctantly, follow the lead given by strong individuals. ~ Sigmund Freud
Well Behaved quotes by Sigmund Freud
If only others knew that Lady Calpurnia Hartwell, proper, well-behaved spinster, entertained deep-seated and certainly unladylike thoughts about fictional heroes. ~ Sarah MacLean
Well Behaved quotes by Sarah MacLean
The way in which modern German poetry follows theories reminds me of pupils who, scolded by their teacher for their insubordination, justify themselves by saying that they invented new rules of propriety according to which they are quite well- behaved. ~ Franz Grillparzer
Well Behaved quotes by Franz Grillparzer
Rob fleetingly thought how comical it would be to introduce her to Sunnie instead of Sammie. Then he prayed to be nice for the rest of his visit. It was taxing to be a well-behaved big brother at times. ~ D.H. Barbara
Well Behaved quotes by D.H. Barbara
So what do people see when they read that well-behaved women rarely make history? Do they imagine good-time girls in stiletto heels or do-good girls carrying clipboards and passing petitions? Do they envision an out-of-control hobbyist or a single mother taking down a drunk in a bar? I suspect that it depends on where they stand themselves. ~ Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
Well Behaved quotes by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
We have been assembled and fabricated into well-behaved students, predictable consumers, and obedient citizens. Most of what is feral has been domesticated. We suffocate in an amorphous glob of sameness. We have learned it is better to conform than to be. ~ Gerry Spence
Well Behaved quotes by Gerry Spence
Whirs. See?" Heidi grabbed the string and pulled. The snail toppled over. "No, not like that," Vanja said. "I'll show you." She placed the snail upright and slowly dragged it a few meters. "I've got a little sister!" she said aloud. Robin had gone to the window where he stood staring out into the backyard. Stella, who was energetic and presumably extra-lively since it was her party, excitedly shouted something that I didn't understand, pointed to one of the two smaller girls, who handed her the doll she was clutching, took out a little carriage, placed the doll in it, and began to push it down the hall. Achilles had found his way to Benjamin, a boy eighteen months older than Vanja, who usually sat deeply absorbed in something, a drawing or a pile of Legos or a pirate ship with plastic pirates. He was imaginative, independent, and well-behaved, ~ Karl Ove Knausgaard
Well Behaved quotes by Karl Ove Knausgaard
I would never scream at my kids, never raise my voice. But as they often tell me, they were so well behaved that screaming was not necessary. ~ Marv Albert
Well Behaved quotes by Marv Albert
My father died when I was nine, but I came from a stable family environment, which I think does contribute to being well-behaved. ~ Robert Winston
Well Behaved quotes by Robert Winston
Don't get me wrong. A good marriage, adequate financial resources, even a clean home and well-behaved children do bring some measure of happiness. However, temporal blessings, as wonderful as they may be, are only a taste of the real thing. They cannot sustain inner happiness any more than eating a scrumptious meal keeps tomorrow's hunger at bay. ~ Leslie Vernick
Well Behaved quotes by Leslie Vernick
I know that sounds odd, but I have always felt that the English love children as long as they are polite, quiet, and well behaved. Americans seem to love children however they behave. ~ Jane Green
Well Behaved quotes by Jane Green
I had kissed my fair share of lads who had only used me as a counterpoint to their own virtue. My primary contribution to our circles back home had been making everyone else feel grounded and well-behaved in comparison. ~ Mackenzi Lee
Well Behaved quotes by Mackenzi Lee
I was quite pleased that Prince Philip didn't say anything like, I hate queers! He was quite well behaved. ~ Allan Carr
Well Behaved quotes by Allan Carr
Perhaps life is rare, either because the precise conditions necessary for it to occur are uncommon or because the chances of it arising are so vanishingly improbable that the Universe just hasn't been around for long enough. Some scientists argue that the Earth may be a rather exceptional planet after all, with its large, stabilising moon and uncommonly well-behaved sun. We may even lie in a peculiarly habitable part of the galaxy, central enough to benefit from the chemical enrichment of previous generations of stars but safely distant from the harsh radiation of the galactic core. In this case we might not be the only life forms in the Universe, but we could be among the first. ~ Ian Whates
Well Behaved quotes by Ian Whates
The other shoppers were too well behaved to stare at the green-headed stoner and the tear-streaked lady zigzagging up the aisles with a chubby bearded guy scurrying behind them picking up the things they dropped. ~ Amy Goldman Koss
Well Behaved quotes by Amy Goldman Koss
It's almost embarrassing how well-behaved I was, which is probably why I do things like spit water on myself onstage as an adult. ~ Karen O
Well Behaved quotes by Karen O
Well-behaved women seldom make history. ~ Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
Well Behaved quotes by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
English vampires may not be as well behaved around witches as the American ones are. ~ Deborah Harkness
Well Behaved quotes by Deborah Harkness
Unfortunately they failed to appreciate the best part of you, preferring to lose themselves in the labyrinth of your grosser illusions. Didn't I show our well-behaved audience an angelized version of you? And you saw their reaction. They were bored and just sat in their seats like a bunch of stiffs. Of course, what can you expect? They wanted the death stuff, the pain stuff. All that flashy junk. They wanted cartwheels of agonized passion; somersaults into fires of doom; nosedives, if you will, into the frenzied pageant of vulnerable flesh. They wanted a tangible thrill.
("Drink To Me Only With Labyrinthine Eyes") ~ Thomas Ligotti
Well Behaved quotes by Thomas Ligotti
I would have been an excellent member of the Brady Bunch. I would have been Shaun, the well-behaved blond boy who caused no trouble and helped Alice in the kitchen, then trimmed the split ends off Marcia's hair. I would have not only washed Tiger, but then conditioned his fur. And I would have cautioned Jan against that tacky bracelet that caused the girls to lose the house-of-cards-building contest. * ~ Augusten Burroughs
Well Behaved quotes by Augusten Burroughs
Freedom's never been free, there's always been a price to be paid, but people have forgotten; they're handing their freedom, their lives, over like well behaved puppets on a string ... slavery is returning by choice. ~ L.M. Fields
Well Behaved quotes by L.M. Fields
Darwinian man, though well-behaved, at best is only a monkey shaved. ~ W.S. Gilbert
Well Behaved quotes by W.S. Gilbert
Composure and self-restraint were not only desirable characteristics in a woman, they were essental.
As my mother put it later, it was bad enough having to worry yourself sick every time your husband went up in an airplane; now, she was being told, she was also supposed to feel responsible if his plane crashed. Anger and discontent, lest they kill, were to be kept to oneself. The military, even more so than the rest of society, clearly put a premium on well-behaved, genteel, and even-tempered women. ~ Kay Redfield Jamison
Well Behaved quotes by Kay Redfield Jamison
no was a bad word in my hone
no was met with the lash
erased from our vocabulary
beaten out of our backs
till we became well-behaved kids
who obediently nodded to yes to everything
when he climbed on top of me
every part of my body wanted to reject it
but i couldn't say no to save my life
when i tried to scream
all that escaped me was silence
i heard no pounding her fist
on the roof of my mouth
begging to let her out
but i had not put up the exit sign
never built the emergency staircase
there was no trapdoor for no to escape from
i want to ask all the
parents and guardians a question
what use was obedience then
when there were hands
that were not mine inside me

- how can i verbalize consent as an adult if i was never taught to as a child ~ Rupi Kaur
Well Behaved quotes by Rupi Kaur
Very old fashioned to say that they will be well behaved but I think it's very important. ~ Abdullah Ahmad Badawi
Well Behaved quotes by Abdullah Ahmad Badawi
If I were well behaved, I'd die of boredom. ~ Tallulah Bankhead
Well Behaved quotes by Tallulah Bankhead
A well-behaved person is not always
well-dressed. ~ Hussain Rasheed
Well Behaved quotes by Hussain Rasheed
A good boy almost all of the time, as well behaved as a loyal hound ~ Emma Straub
Well Behaved quotes by Emma Straub
I realized that this is what many people in our society seem to want most from children: not that they are caring or creative or curious, but simply that they are well behaved. ~ Alfie Kohn
Well Behaved quotes by Alfie Kohn
A well-behaved woman seldom makes history ~ Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
Well Behaved quotes by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
The most debilitating characteristic of even the most well-behaved psychopath is the inability to form a workable team. ~ Robert D. Hare
Well Behaved quotes by Robert D. Hare
We honed our egos on her, padded our characters with her frailty, and yawned in the fantasy of our strength.

And fantasy it was, for we were not strong, only aggressive; we were not free, merely licensed; we were not compassionate, we were polite; not good, but well behaved. ~ Toni Morrison
Well Behaved quotes by Toni Morrison
But a male tree produces only small, well-behaved flowers - that is, if your definition of well behaved includes spewing plant sperm into the air for weeks on end. ~ Amy Stewart
Well Behaved quotes by Amy Stewart
Let men be happy, informed, skillful, well behaved, and productive. ~ B.F. Skinner
Well Behaved quotes by B.F. Skinner
When a slave must be executed, the slaves from those plantations nearby are brought to watch; a deterrent, aye? against future ill-considered action." "Indeed," Jamie said politely. "I believe that was the Crown's notion in executing my grandsire on Tower Hill after the Rising. Verra effective, too; all my relations have been quite well behaved since." I had lived long enough among Scots to appreciate the effects of that little jab. Jamie might have come at Campbell's request, but the grandson of the Old Fox did no man's bidding lightly - nor necessarily held English law in high regard. MacNeill had got the message, all right; the back of his neck flushed turkey-red, but Farquard Campbell looked amused. He uttered a short, dry laugh before turning round. ~ Diana Gabaldon
Well Behaved quotes by Diana Gabaldon
As a matter of fact it required only a tolerable show of virtue for Peter to win encomiums at any time. He would brush his curly mop of hair away from his forehead, lift his eyes, part his lips, showing a row of tiny white teeth; then a dimple would appear in each cheek and a seraphic expression (wholly at variance with the facts) would overspread the baby face, whereupon the beholder ... would cry "Angel boy!" and kiss him. He was even kissed now, though he had done nothing at all but exist and be an enchanting personage, which is one of the injustices of a world where a large number of virtuous and well-behaved people go unkissed to their graves! ~ Kate Douglas Wiggin
Well Behaved quotes by Kate Douglas Wiggin
Fathers like to have children good-natured, well-behaved, and comfortable, but how to put them in that desirable condition is out of their philosophy. ~ Ernestine Rose
Well Behaved quotes by Ernestine Rose
Have we failed to slow global warming pollution in part because climate and environmental activists have been too polite and well behaved? ~ Jeff Goodell
Well Behaved quotes by Jeff Goodell
My son is an inspired child, a very positive and happy child. The year he was born, he travelled 13 countries with us. I still remember he was so well behaved that the flight attendants used to thank him! ~ Sonu Nigam
Well Behaved quotes by Sonu Nigam
As a citizen I might be well-behaved and have nothing salacious or radical about me, I might be a total bore, but I might suffer somehow if other people are being spied on and blocked from doing important work that might have a collective benefit down the road. The personal doesn't necessarily translate to the social. ~ Astra Taylor
Well Behaved quotes by Astra Taylor
I shouldn't have said it, but the word slipped out of my mouth as easy as air. it wasn't exactly the kind of work any well-behaved student would use, which sort of explained why I had just used it. And it certainly isn't the most elegant way to start off a story, but it honestly represents what I was feeling. Besides, I could have said something a lot stronger.
