Adolescence is when girls experience social pressure to put aside their authentic selves and to display only a small portion of their gifts. – Mary Pipher
The bedroom in my apartment is far too small to hold a nightstand. There is, however, this bookshelf. Yes, I stow whatever I’m reading on the lower shelf, but more importantly, it’s where I keep a collection of ghost books. – Matthew Tobin Anderson
There are a host of ethnic minorities in China, but they often have a weak sense of identity and are relatively small in total number.

It’s one thing to be writing in South or Latin America, where, except for Brazil, every country, however small and hard to find on a map, speaks Spanish, but quite another to be writing in, say, Hungary, a landlocked nation of 10 million people, with a language that very few people outside Hungary can read or speak. – Michael Korda
In most countries, it is possible to visit zoos and see bored animals pacing back and forth in cages, with nothing to do but wait for the next meal. Circuses are even worse places for animals.

It’s funny, but we were living on this small island off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina when I was 9. – Josh Lucas
Life is a game with many rules but no referee. One learns how to play it more by watching it than by consulting any book, including the holy book. Small wonder, then, that so many play dirty, that so few win, that so many lose. – Joseph Brodsky
Comedy is learning to be funny, and you learn to be funny in small rooms with young audiences. – Joan Rivers
