Damsels in Distress Movie Quotes
'Damsels in Distress' movie quotes are hilarious. In the film, written and directed by Whit Stillman ('The Last Days of Disco'), Greta Gerwig stars as Violet Wister, the leader of a group of girls who are determined to change life at a small, liberal arts college. Together, these women try to transform the college from a male-dominated world to one where both sexes can coexist. Sort of. This film is filled with excellent, clever dialogue, much of it delivered by Gerwig, brilliantly. Enjoy these 'Damsels in Distress' movie quotes and be sure to vote for your favorites!
Meet the damsels in Whit Stillman's 'Damsels in Distress:' Violet, the leader, and her minions, Rose (Megalyn Echikunwoke) and Heather (Carrie MacLemore). They're on a mission to raise the overall standards at their East Coast college, Seven Oaks. Violet decides to draw new student Lily (Analeigh Tipton) into the fold, as well.
When Lily starts seeing Charlie (Adam Brody), the group of flower-named young women become seriously concerned. He's a player (or, as Rose puts it, an "operator") - he's up to no good, and he's going to break Lily's heart if she allows it. 'Damsels in Distress' also stars Aubrey Plaza as "Depressed Debbie," and Hugo Becker, Ryan Metcalf and Billy Magnussen as guys in desperate need of reform.

Tailspin
BUY @ amazon
Violet: "I don't really like the word 'depressed.' I prefer to say that I'm in a tailspin."
Now it's Violet's turn to go into that dark place we all go when we are dumped, or, in this case, cheated on. Even in the face of becoming the "dumpee," Violet clings to her sensibilities. - 2Up 2Down 0
Making a Difference
BUY @ amazon
Violet: "We're also trying to make a difference in people's lives, and one way to do that, is to stop them from killing themselves."
Among Violet Wister's most important crusades: Preventing student suicide. Part of her solution includes...tap dancing lessons. And lots of donuts. - 3Up 2Down 0
He's Lying, That's Attractive
BUY @ amazon
Violet: "That guy is definitely in Professor Ryan's class..."
Lily: "It's not possible, he has a full time job for Strategic Development Associates."
Rose: "He never got his coffee..."
Lily: "Why would he lie about something like that?"
Violet: "He's lying. I find that very attractive."
Greta Gerwig delivers some fantastic lines in 'Damsels in Distress,' including this one, uttered right after she meets Lily's love interest, the smooth-talking playboy, Charlie. Charlie's keeping secrets, and to Violet, that makes him super hot. - 4Up 2Down 1
The Algebra of Love
BUY @ amazon
Lily: "There no logic to the algebra of love."
Charlie: "The algebra of love? Sounds like the title of some lame book."
Lily: "It's a title but the book's not lame at all."
Charlie: "Love's algebra? I always thought it was more geometry."
Lily: "Okay, the title's not good but the book is."
Charlie: "What's it say?"
Lily: "Well, that while we're all perverse in our preferences, there's actually this logic, or algebra to our perversity. And it has something to do with how the species has evolved."
Charlie: "The survival of the species?"
Lily: "Yes, and whether it will continue to do so."
Lily explains to Charlie how it's possible to make the totally illogical nature of love seem perfectly logical, by relating it to algebra. Charlie doesn't seem to be buying it, at least not at first. - 5Up 2Down 1
Look Bad
BUY @ amazon
Depressed Debbie: "You think I'm going to kill myself and make you look bad?"
Violet: "I'm worried that you'll kill yourself and make yourself look bad."
Violet's approach to combatting depression and possible suicide is certainly unorthodox. What is she trying to do, shame Depressed Debbie into staying alive? Time for some tap dancing... -
