11 brilliant Blair Waldorf quotes we can learn from
She is intelligent, a bit craycray, hopelessly romantic, and at the same time razor-sharp. Who doesn't miss the one and only Queen B from Gossip Girl well, right? And especially her brilliant quotes. “There’s only one queen bitch in this town and that’s me.”
Who would have thought that behind Blair's pretentious, hilarious, vengeful, and beautiful quotes lie brilliant life lessons we can actually learn from? Something with a big mouth, but a small heart. Take it away, miss Waldorf.
1. About men:
“Once men have tasted caviar, it baffles me how they settle for catfish.”
Definitely one of her most brilliant quotes. What can you learn from it? Why settle for less than perfect when you know it can be better?
2. About stupid jobs:
“I have an idea for you: quit. Your boss is a bitch. Let’s go to lunch.”
Applause for this one. It can actually be that simple. Do you go to work with reluctance? Do your colleagues make your life miserable and is your boss terrible? Then please quit.
3. About ‘fate’
“Destiny is for losers. It’s just a stupid excuse to wait for things to happen instead of making them happen.”
Why wait for success/the new job/the lover when you can work towards a goal yourself? Get out there and make things happen!
4. About failed relationships:
“All this time I’ve blamed you. For pulling me into the dark. But I was wrong. It was me who brought out your dark side.”
Yep, we've all had that one really painful break-up. And the realization that you're with someone who brings out the worst in you.
5. About giving up:
“If you really want something, you don’t stop for anyone or anything until you get it.”
Moral of the story? Where there's a will, there's a way. And for everyone who stands in the way because it's said that you can't do something: go f*ck yourself. Just read this.
6. About true love
“What we have is a great love. It’s complicated. Intense. All-consuming. No matter what we do and how much we fight, it’ll always pull us in.”
True love is intense. It consumes you, makes you the happiest chick on earth, spits you out from time to time, but always comes back to you. If you, uh, get lucky. And work hard at it.
7. About Chuck Bass:
“He ended up treating me like something he owned instead of something he earned.”
The lesson? Never, ever take someone for granted. Yes people, love is a verb.
8. About fashion:
“Fashion is the most powerful art there is. It’s movement, design, and architecture all in one. It shows the world who we are and who we’d like to be.”
Well said, Queen B. For everyone who thinks fashion is just about putting on some clothes…
9. About time:
“They say Rome wasn’t built in a day. And yet what a difference a day makes.”
So true. One day you can feel on top of the world, and the next minute you crash and hit rock bottom.
10. About New York:
“Manhattan will do that to a girl. You’ll be happy to know, it never wears off.”
Just a reminder of the lasting effect that New York has on all of us.
11. About parties:
“The most important parties to attend are the ones you’re not invited to.”
Think about that the next time you’re not invited. Grab them, tiger.
