Quote to inspire girl (to pair with Shakespeare quote)

10 replies

Hello! I’m hoping for some help with inspiration. I’ve always liked the quote ‘and thought she be but little she is fierce’ from A Midsummer Night’s Dream and I want to get a print of it for my elder daughter’s room. I want to get something equivalent for my younger daughter but I’m drawing a blank - grateful for any ideas! I’m hoping someone will mention something I’ve read already but youngest is only a baby so in the tiredness haze I’m finding it difficult to remember anything good or try to reread anything likely!

“Nevertheless, she persisted”? But probs that for your elder and the little/fierce quote for your baby?

or Coco Chanel “a girl should be two things”

Or Bonaparte? “Let her sleep, for when she wakes she will move mountains”

‘This above all: to thine own self be true’ from Hamlet

A few from one of my favourite books, butterfly's rising.

She's flowers and fire

  • butterfly's rising

She blooms wild and burns bright

  • butterfly's rising

Beautiful wildflower, grow untamed

  • butterfly's rising

Just let the
chaos in you be beautiful,
you are such a soft and wild thing

  • butterfly's rising

You are stronger and braver than you think.
And more loved than you will ever know. - a variation of a quote by A. A. Milne who wrote Winnie the Pooh.

Wasn't sure if you only wanted Shakespeare quotes sorry.

I’ve always loved
you is kind
you is smart
you is important

Then there was a star danced. And under that was I born. Much Ado

Love this.

These are brilliant, thank you all so much! Love ‘let her sleep, for when she wakes she will move mountains’ - perfect for over the cot! And some great inspiration for the girls for later and some reading for me - I must look up Butterfly’s Rising

There might be something nice in the lyrics from Theodosia (song from Hamilton) too
