If you have ever seen the movie Clueless, you probably remember Cher Horowitz’s character as a self-centered, materialistic, immature, Beverly Hills teen, living a gifted life that might as well be straight out of a Noxzema commercial. Though most of Cher’s actions and comments seem outwardly shallow, if you look closer, you may actually find that what she says and does shows that she has a lot of real insight about life.
1. Even the smallest risks can be dangerous. “Wasn’t my Mom a betty? She died when I was just a baby. A fluke accident during a routine liposuction. I don’t remember her, but I like to pretend she still watches over me.” – Cher

3. In order to do well in school, an alternative to working hard may be negotiating with your teachers… “Well, some teachers are trying to low-ball me, Daddy. And I know how you say, “Never accept a first offer”, so I figure these grades are just a jumping off point to start negotiations.” – Cher

Even though I was alone, I was really happy for Tai. It’s like that book I read in ninth grade that said, ’tis a far, far better thing doing stuff for other people.’” – Cher
