13 'GIRLS' Quotes That Prove Lena Dunham Is A Genius

hbo girls

As one of the most hilarious shows on HBO, I have no shame in admitting that I spend my weekends binge-watching my favorite GIRLS  every week just to see more of their ridiculous antics. While I'm definitely not saying that this representation of Brooklyn is the best or even that accurate (as everyone seems to forget that Brooklyn spans over more neighborhoods than the hipster headquarters that is Williamsburg), there have been quite a few moments — especially in the show's earlier days — where I've found myself nodding along to the characters' often shockingly insightful prose. Lena Dunham knows how to get you right in the feels; not only is everything she says relatable, it's just spot on. That being said, whether you're a free spirit like Jessa or a Hannah at heart, these witty quotes from HBO's hit series will prove just how much of a genius this indie queen really is.
