Cute quotes: girls and boys
This category contains cute quotes concerning girls and boys of any age. These are the cutest quotes because they are quotes by people about people, and there's nothing more cute than people! Note that all these cute quotes also fall into the cute love quotes category, except the quote by George Burns, indicating that love is the most important category for both sexes!Cute quotes from girls to boys
These are cute quotes concerning things girls have said, or might say, to boys.
Many "cute quotes" are not cute in the way that a kitten playing with string is cute. Remember that cute does not simply mean attractive. It also means clever, shrewd, ingenious, and quaint. Where quaint means attractive in an unfamiliar or odd way.
So the first cute quote, by Cynthia Heimel isn't very attractive for the boy she is speaking to! It becomes cute for the reader through being witty, through being spoken by an attractive woman, and through being unusual in its harshness. The harshness is quaint coming from a woman who has been wronged by the man she is speaking to. Would it have been cute if it had been said by an old man to his son? (Not that old men can't be cute! See the George Burns quote.)
"If you can't live without me, why aren't you dead already?" - Cynthia Heimel
For decades, Heimel wrote the "Women" column in Playboy magazine. Her column ended because the editors thought Heimel's feminist attitudes would put off male readers.
"I wanna be loved by you, just you, nobody else but you." - Marilyn Monroe.

Cute quotes from children
"Who was your mother?" "Never had none," said the child, with another grin. "Never had any mother? What do you mean? Where were you born?" "Never was born," persisted Topsy; "Never had no father, nor mother, nor nothin'. I was raised by a speculator." - Harriet Beecher Stowe, Uncle Tom's Cabin.
Clever cute quotes
Our first clever cute quote uses the word cute in its not-clever "kitten with string" sense. Felicity Dickinson is a clever woman so she knows the more general meaning of cute and that it includes intelligence and irony. In this quote she is fighting against surface cuteness, and making us focus on the actual meaning of cute. (Phew! I said these were clever quotes...)"I avoid cute; intelligence and irony are better soul-mates" - Felicity Dickinson
"Every journalist has a novel in him, which is an excellent place for it." - Russel Lynes
"Who stopped the payment on my reality check?" - anonymous.
