Quotes:
"Men fight other men, but women spend their whole lives fighting themselves" (39).
"Dieting is a lot like illness" (82).
"The tablets had a lyrical name - Stopping the Pearl... no wonder there were fewer poets and playwrights these days; they were all busy giving names to pills and tablets" (94).
