10 of the Best Quotes from Female Authors (Lit Lover’s Link Up)

March 11, 2015 by Meet Brenda 3 Comments

In honor of National Women's History month, here are 10 of the best quotes from female authors.

March is National Women’s History Month. In honor of this holiday, Today’s Lit Lover’s Link-Up is all about the ladies. 🙂

Scroll down to the end of the post to add your links to the Lit Lover’s Link Up!

Here are 10 of the best quotes from female authors:

“Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before, how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way, and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever…”

Isak Dinesen

“The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.”

Ayn Rand

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Maya Angelou

“Maybe who we are isn’t so much about what we do, but rather what we’re capable of when we least expect it.”

Jodi Picoult

“The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself.”

Anna Quindlen

”It is never too late – in fiction or in life – to revise.”

Nancy Thayer

“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.”

JK Rowling

“People’s dreams are made out of what they do all day. The same way a dog that runs after rabbits will dream of rabbits. It’s what you do that makes your soul, not the other way around.”

Barbara Kingsolver

“Don’t wait around for other people to be happy for you. Any happiness you get you’ve got to make yourself.”

Alice Walker

“Why do they always teach us that it’s easy and evil to do what we want and that we need discipline to restrain ourselves? It’s the hardest thing in the world–to do what we want. And it takes the greatest kind of courage. I mean, what we really want.”

Ayn Rand
