Quotes by women

Maybe I'm imagining this,but more often than not when I see a quote it's one made by a man. Where are all the quotes by ladies? So I aim to set things right by publishing some. Sorry gentlemen it's time to put the girls in the limelight!

I would rather regret the things that I have done than the things that I have not~~Lucille Ball

If it's natural to kill, why do men have to go into training to learn how?~~Joan Baez

I won't be happy till I'm as famous as God~~Madonna

I want to live my life, not record it.~~Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

Sometimes it's worse to win a fight than to lose.~~Billie Holiday

Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.~~Marie Curie

The important thing is not what they think of me,but what I think of them.~~Queen Victoria

I would venture to guess that Anon,who wrote so many poems without signing them,was often a woman.~~Virginia Woolf

To fulfill a dream,to be allowed to sweat over lonley labour,to be given a chance to create, is the meat and potatoes of life. The money is the gravy. As everyone else, I love to dunk my crust in it. But alone, it is not a diet to keep body and soul together.~~Bette Davis

Just go out there and do what you have to do.~~Martina Navratilova

I love to crochet, but regrettably have not done so in quite a long time . Today I came across Olek who makes me want to get a ball of wool and a hook and make something! She is an inspiration. Please use the link above to have a look at her work.
