With March being Women's History Month and my being a huge advocate of all things literature, I figured what better way to celebrate women than compiling a list of quotations from literature Jules Verne is not female.written exclusively by women? From Emily Brontë all the way to J.K Rowling, these women's works of literature haves stood the test of time and still resonate in our hearts today. I've always been amazed at the way a few words strung together in a specific order can sometimes produce something so wonderful. The following quotes are ones that I found especially beautiful.
1. "Terror made me cruel." (Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights)
2. "If it weren't for her, there would never have been an empty space, or the need to fill it." (Nicole Krauss, The History of Love)
3. "Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart." (Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl)
4. "Loneliness is the human condition. Cultivate it. The way it tunnels into you allows your soul room to grow." (Janet Fitch, White Oleander)
5. "Every atom of your flesh is as dear to me as my own: in pain and sickness it would still be dear." (Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre)
6. "It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be." (J.K Rowling, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire)
7. "You should be kisses and often, and by someone who knows how." (Margaret Mitchell, Gone With the Wind)
8. "Nothing is so painful to the human mind as a great and sudden change." (Mary Shelley, Frankenstein)
9. "Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that can set upon the freedom of my mind." (Virginia Woolf, A Room of One's Own)
10. "We were the people who were not in the papers. We lived in the blank white spaces at the edges of the print. It gave us more freedom. We lived in the gaps between the stories." (Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale)
11. "How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world." (Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl)
12. "One hour of right down love is worth an age of dully living on." (Aphra Benn, The Rover)
13. "Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same." (Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights)
