I, like every other basic millennial girl, watched Gossip Girl in high school. And while I didn’t like Blair Waldorf as a person, she had many undeniable and admirable qualities that any woman trying to make something of their lives should aspire to. She was determined, she was confident, and she was a force to be reckoned with. And as much of a spoiled rotten elitist as she was with an unearned sense of accomplishment and entitlement, I appreciated that unlike her blonde counterpart, she was honest about who she was while Serena played the clueless victim. So without further ado, here are some of Blair’s most relatable and motivational quotes:
“I’m not a stop along the way. I’m a destination. And if you refuse to come, I’m gonna need to find a replacement… girls, the waiting list?”
“Only a masochist could ever love such a narcissist.”
“Can you make sure they don’t seat me behind Caroline Kennedy? She may be American royalty, but she’s a giraffe.”
“I don’t need friends, I need more champagne.”
“I’m the best of the best. I’m Blair Waldorf.”
“Here’s my advice. Have a little faith, and if that doesn’t work, have a lot of mimosas.”
“I have an idea for you: quit. Your boss is a bitch. Let’s go to lunch.”
“Destiny is for losers. It’s just a stupid excuse to wait for things to happen instead of making them happen.”
“Don’t go all Notebook on me. Not now. I need you.”
“We’re not servants of our emotions. We can control them, suppress them, stomp them out like bugs.”
“You are living proof that a person can’t buy class.”
“Do you have any idea the psychological torture that I have endured being nice to you?”
“Some people are simply better than others.”
“The most important parties to attend are the one you aren’t invited to.”
“People don’t write sonnets about being compatible, or novels about shared life goals and stimulating conversation. The great loves are the crazy ones.”
“They say Rome wasn’t built in a day. And yet what a difference a day makes.”
“You need to be cool to be queen. Anne Boleyn thought only with her heart and she got her head chopped off.”
