Only good girls keep diaries. Bad girls don't have time.

Summary

This quote suggests that the act of keeping a diary is associated with being "good" or well-behaved, while those considered "bad" do not have the inclination or opportunity to maintain one. It implies that good girls are more disciplined, introspective, and organized, thereby finding value in reflecting on their lives through writing. Conversely, it suggests that bad girls do not conform to societal norms, and are too busy engaging in activities deemed deviant or nonconformist to participate in journaling.
