One can only imagine what it would be like to have the brain of one Veronica Mars. Just a GPA point shy of winning a Stanford scholarship, the super sleuth was always able to decode a case and turn a fancy phrase with a wide variety of witty quips. Outside of a WB show, it’s hard to have a mind that sharp. But thanks to this particular WB show, you can definitely fake it by co-opting a few of Veronica Mars’ most clever quotes.

Whether you want to have a biting comeback or you need a smooth way to hand out advice, our girl has got you covered. Of course, sass is really Veronica's forte, and there’s plenty of that, but our little marshmallow has also been known to get deep every once in a while. Whatever the (oddly specific) situation you find yourself in, she probably has you covered. And if not? Well, you have time to marathon watch the entire series for inspiration again, right?
