Girls enjoy complex social interaction. Their verbal skills - and their delight in using them - develop earlier than boys'.

Relationships are made of talk - and talk is for girls and women.

No matter what you say in carefully chosen sentences, girls will detect both the spoken and unspoken messages.

For girls and women, talk is the glue that holds a relationship together - and the explosive that can blow it apart. That's why you can think you're having a perfectly amiable chat, then suddenly find yourself wounded by the shrapnel from an exploded conversation.

Girls especially are fond of exchanging confidences with those whom they think they can trust; it is one of the most charming traits of a simple, earnest-hearted girlhood, and they are the happiest women who never lose it entirely.

Girls are infinitely more complicated than boys and women more than men. And there's no doubt about that. We just don't like to think about it. Certainly the men don't like to think about it.

At any rate, girls are differently situated. Having no need of deep scientific knowledge, their education is confined more to the ordinary things of the world, the study of the fine arts, and of the manners and dispositions of people.

I think that girls are always expected to have opinions about each other, and maybe I don't have an opinion about some things, you know?

For women, detailed conversation is our lifeblood, while for men it's just not as critical.

Girls are soft and pretty.
