J.K. Rowling
“I've got two daughters who will have to make their way in this skinny-obsessed world, and it worries me, because I don't want them to be empty-headed, self-obsessed, emaciated clones; I'd rather they were independent, interesting, idealistic, kind, opinionated, original, funny – a thousand things, before 'thin'. And frankly, I'd rather they didn't give a gust of stinking chihuahua flatulence whether the woman standing next to them has fleshier knees than they do. Let my girls be Hermiones, rather than Pansy Parkinsons. Let them never be Stupid Girls.”
J.K. Rowling

Charles Bukowski
“I was so thin I could slice bread with my shoulderblades, only I seldom had bread”
Charles Bukowski, The Last Night of the Earth Poems

Francesca Lia Block
“I will not eat cakes or cookies or food. I will be thin, thin, pure. I will be pure and empty. Weight dropping off. Ninety-nine... ninety-five... ninety-two... ninety. Just one more to eighty-nine. Where does it go? Where in the universe does it go?”
Francesca Lia Block, Echo

“Soon I'll be thinner than all of you, she swore to herself. And then I'll be the winner. The thinner is the winner.”
Steven Levenkron, The Best Little Girl in the World

“She ran her hands over her body as if to bid it good-bye. The hipbones rising from a shrunken stomach were razor-sharp. Would they be lost in a sea of fat? She counted her ribs bone by bone. Where would they go?”
Steven Levenkron, The Best Little Girl in the World

“She began to be reassured by these pains, tangible symbols of her success in becoming thinner than anyone else. Her only identity was being "the skinniest." She had to feel it.”
Steven Levenkron, Kessa

“Kessa ran her fingers over her stomach. Flat. But was it flat enough? Not quite. She still had some way to go. Just to be safe, she told herself. Still, it was nice the way her pelvic bones rose like sharp hills on either side of her stomach. I love bones. Bones are beautiful.”
Steven Levenkron, The Best Little Girl in the World

“J_Doe032692 wrote: I am not a thin person. However this does not give people the right to taunt me, calling me ugly and worthless, telling me to kill myself because no one will ever want me, or to make up songs about why I am so fat and how much food I eat. NO ONE, I repeat, NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO HURT ANOTHER HUMAN BEING THIS BADLY.

My throat constricts. The neck brace feels as if it's shrinking and cutting off my esophagus. I reach up and cover the words with my hand and the web site dissolves.
I want to go.
Now.”
Julie Anne Peters, By the Time You Read This, I'll Be Dead

Ellen Hopkins
“But calories won't conquer me. They are one thing I can control”
Ellen Hopkins, Perfect

Bisco Hatori
“What does being a girl have to do with it? There's no time to think when you're on the spot...”
Bisco Hatori, Ouran High School Host Club, Vol. 3

“She lay on her back and walked her fingers down her ribs, skipped them over her abdomen, and landed on her pelvic bones. She tapped them with her Knuckles. [. . .] I can hear my bones, she thought. Her fingers moved up from her pelvic bones to her waist. The elastic of her underpants barely touched the center of her abdomen. The bridge is almost finished, she thought. The elastic hung loosely around each thigh. More progress. She put her knees together and raised them in the air. No matter how tightly she pressed them together, her thighs did not touch.”
Steven Levenkron, The Best Little Girl in the World

V.C. Andrews
“I brushed it until it shone and looked somewhat like it used to look,
only far thinner, and less glorious.”
V.C. Andrews, Flowers in the Attic

Helen      Brown
“Then there was the realisation that I didn't actually feel that much better when I was thin(ner). In fact the 'thin' version felt worse because I lived with hunger clawing at my stomach all the time, and in fear that I was going to get fat again. After years of neuroticism I'd finally understood those who loved me would continue to put up with me fat or thin, and those who didn't ignored me. As a middle-aged woman I was pretty much invisible anyway. To pass unnoticed through an image-obsessed society is surprisingly liberating.”
Helen Brown, After Cleo

Kate Moss
“I was a scapegoat. The media had to put responsibility on somebody, and I was chosen. They felt free to say that because someone was thin they were anorexic, which is ridiculous.”
Kate Moss

Andrew Sean Greer
“Clark always says that you can be thin or you can be happy, and, Arthur, I have already tried thin.”
Andrew Sean Greer, Less

Laurence Sterne
“—So much motion, continues he, (for he was very corpulent)—is so much unquietness; and so much of rest, by the same analogy, is so much of heaven.
Now, I (being very thin) think differently; and that so much of motion, is so much of life, and so much of joy—and that to stand still, or get on but slowly, is death and the devil—”
Laurence Sterne, The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman

Adele Griffin
“Not that I was morbidly obese or anything. But I guess I was hanging on the hope that one day I might accidentally whittle down to my inner toothpick.”
Adele Griffen

Alain Bremond-Torrent, running is flying intermittently

Frank Bruni
“Thin people, God bless them, God curse them, don't get it: If you're not thin, you need to be careful and conscious about when and how you suitors initially see you.”
Frank Bruni, Born Round: The Secret History of a Full-time Eater

James C. Dobson
“Perhaps this is why not one of 800 sexologists attending a conference raised a hand when asked if they would trust a thin rubber sheath to protect them during intercourse with a known HIV-infected person. I don't blame them. They're not crazy, after all. Yet they're perfectly willing to tell your generation that "safe sex" is within reach and you can sleep around with impunity. It is a terrible lie.”
James C. Dobson, Life on the Edge: A Young Adult's Guide to a Meaningful Future

Steven Magee
“Toxic companies hide behind a thin veneer of health and safety.”
Steven Magee

Kris Radish, Annie Freeman's Fabulous Traveling Funeral

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Yes, she's rather good-looking; I think she's good-looking. After all, she drives other men out of their mind. She's tall and svelte. Only she's very thin. I think you could tie her in a knot or bend her double.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Gambler and A Nasty Business

Barack Obama
“By these standards at least, it sometimes appears that Americans today value nothing so much as being rich, thin, young, famous, safe, and entertained. We say we value the legacy we leave the next generation and then saddle that generation with mountains of debt. We say we believe in equal opportunity but then stand idle while millions of American children languish in poverty. We insist that we value family, but then structure our economy and organize our lives so as to ensure that our families get less and less of our time.”
Barack Obama, The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream

Ljupka Cvetanova
“I don't understand models. They starve to stay thin so that they can feed themselves..”
Ljupka Cvetanova, Yet Another New Land

Steven Magee
“Two wars on opposite sides of the world will stretch the USA war machine thin!”
Steven Magee

Dr Tracey Bond
“Genius isn’t about being the smartest in the room; it’s about daring to think differently, embracing curiosity, and pushing boundaries to create something extraordinary. When we unlock our unique genius master keys, we unlock a world of possibilities.”
Dr Tracey Bond, Out With The Old TREND INTO YOUR NEW
