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.

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)
