More quotes by Caitlin Moran
You should write, write, write every day, and learn to edit and pare it right back so you're proud of every sentence, and each one is either being useful or beautiful, but hopefully both.
Caitlin Moran
The world is difficult and we are all breakable. So just be kind.

As far as I'm concerned, you're a feminist by default if you're born in the Western world right now.
Caitlin Moran
I was brought up in a kind of, you know, very hippie, liberal family. And it was just always automatically assumed that men and women were equal and indeed superior.
Caitlin Moran
I’m neither ‘pro-women’ nor ‘anti-men’. I’m just ‘Thumbs up for the six billion

There's something so free about being a fan and being enthusiastic about stuff - you attract all the other people who are also loving and enthusiastic when you're sending out signals of love. When you start to communicate cynicism and hatred, it leads you down a completely different path.
Caitlin Moran
And every book, you find, has its own social group--friends of its own it wants to introduce you to, like a party in the library that need never, ever end.

Caitlin Moran
There are some women out there who are just going to look better with a mustache: that's statistics.
Caitlin Moran
A male feminist is one of the most glorious end-products of evolution.
Caitlin Moran
Once you've got a big feminist and political justification for talking about how you went round to Benedict Cumberbatch's house and did period all over his sofa, then there's no reason not to tell that anecdote in the middle of a dinner party.
Caitlin Moran
I think it's a really important thing for women to be able to just put their hands up and go, I can't actually do any more.
Caitlin Moran
Feminism has had exactly the same problem that political correctness has had: people keep using the phrase without really knowing what it means.
Caitlin Moran
I like a little bit of revolution. I think it's a very good hobby for a young woman. Better than squash.
Caitlin Moran
When you say you're not a feminist, if feminism hadn't existed, and you didn't live in a feminist world, you wouldn't be saying that, because you'd be too busy scrubbing out the toilets in back while cooking up your husband's tea and dying in childbirth at the age of 34.

One of the great things about being a writer/journalist is that my boss loves me to go out and do features on being someone else. I did a feature on Kate Middleton, where I went to an incredible fancy state home in the countryside, put on a wedding dress and posed for engagement pictures with a fake Prince William.
Caitlin Moran
I want a Zero Tolerance policy on All The Patriarchal Bullshit.
Caitlin Moran
The people around you are mirrors, I think. You see yourself reflected in their eyes. If the mirror is true, and smooth, you see your true self. That’s how you learn who you are.
Caitlin Moran
When you've got a mother who's given birth to eight children, you know, often without any kind of medical intervention - just she gave birth to one of my brothers sort of on the bedroom floor in front of all of us -you know, you see that women are fairly capable.
