City of Girls is the latest novel by Elizabeth Gilbert. The book is majorly targeted towards girls.

But the book does have lessons that could be beneficial for everyone. These few City of Girls Quotes prove that.

The story is about an old lady – Vivian Morris. She, according to her, is good in only two things. That is sex and sewing. But she is more than that. When she was 19, she failed in school, and her parents send her to her aunt. To Manhattan, where her Aunt Peg runs a theatre.

To be honest, the City of Girls is light-hearted, funny, adventurous, interesting and worth reading. There are many lessons Vivian gives to readers, and women, but these City of Girls Quotes could teach you something about life, despite your gender.

After a certain age, we are all walking around this world in bodies made of secrets and shame and sorrow and old, unhealed injuries. Our hearts grow sore and misshapen around all this pain — yet somehow, still, we carry on.
