If I Have A Daughter One Day by Maya Amlin
“Don't belittle yourself, my darling;
good girls don't do that.
They know their worth
even when they have been told since their birth
how they are nothing but a burden to this Earth.”

Maya Amlin shared a quote
If I Have A Daughter One Day by Maya Amlin
“because to be is to exist
and to exist is to think and know and want
and those are the things
girls who are good haven't got.
So just don't be
because if you be,
then you are spending moments
pretending you're not a nobody.”

“Tell me a story grandma
one where the princess isn't always
quiet and pretty and proud and nice.
Tell me a story grandma,
one where she slays the dragon
who threatens to kill her kind.”
Maya Amlin, If I Have A Daughter One Day

“Tell me a story grandma
but this time,
don't let Cinderella marry the prince, please.
Tell me a story grandma,
but this time,
let Red know that the wolf is cunning.”
Maya Amlin, If I Have A Daughter One Day

“Don't talk about love, my darling;
good girls don't do that.”
Maya Amlin, If I Have A Daughter One Day

“I am glad I will not be young in a future without wilderness.”
Aldo Leopold

“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
Marilyn Monroe

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
Oscar Wilde

“To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.”
J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

“I'm not afraid of death; I just don't want to be there when it happens.”
Woody Allen
