Quotes 

• Helen : Quinn, how was your day?

  Quinn : It sucked! First my teacher gave my paper on Cleopatra's makeup don'ts an "F"; like he would know! Then my heel broke. Then, like, the day was almost over and only two guys had asked me out. Luckily, just before...

  Helen : Daria, *please* tell me about the project.

  Daria Morgendorffer : It's about how behavior is affected by positive or negative reinforcement.

  Helen : Sounds super!

  Daria Morgendorffer : Like... say, you have a friend who responds to everything you say with, "That's great!" This insincere reply is the same whether you saved a life or killed a bug, and thus becomes "negative reinforcement," causing you to withdraw from that person or persons.

  Helen : Wow. That's fantastic!

• Brittany Taylor : If you think you're going to take Kevin away from me, you're wrong. Because he's my Kevin, and you're, you're a... a brain!

  Daria Morgendorffer : You know, Brittany, that was actually a very astute observation about the likelihood of my dating your boyfriend.

  Jane Lane : Or is it former boyfriend?
