Best Harper Lee Quotes

Nelle Harper Lee (April 28, 1926 – February 19, 2016) was an American novelist widely known for To Kill a Mockingbird, published in 1960. Immediately successful, it won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize and has become a classic of modern American literature. Her work in To Kill a Mockingbird has been hailed as one of the pioneer works of literature in fighting racism.

The novel deals with the irrationality of adult attitudes towards race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s, as depicted through the eyes of two children.[wikipedia]

Mother is the best gift God has given us. Each mother is beautiful, because she takes it upon herself to bring a new life in this world and then mould that new life into something more brilliant. Countless words have been said in the honor of these amazing women but none can suffice or even come close to measure up to them.

Here's a collection of 15 heart touching quotes about mothers, motherhood and what's it like to contain a heart bursting with ove and only love.

Women are beautiful creatures. Not only by the way they look, but for what they do for the rest of the population. It takes a woman to make a home out of empty houses. Her nature is that of endless nurturing. As a sister, she is the perfect companion; as a lover, she is the perfect companion; and as a mother, she is the perfect protector. She may not have physical strength like men do, but she has courage and strength that goes way more deep. She can endure hardships, whether they come from the world or from her own body. She carries her baby in her womb and then brings that baby safely into the world enduring excruciating pain. Her love is so selfless, in whatever role she may be, that words and poems fail to describe the magnanimity of her beauty.

25 Oprah Winfrey Quotes to Uplift Your Spirits

Oprah Winfrey has become one of the most celebrated icons in modern television history. With a self titled tv show that went on air from 1986 to 2011, it has been America's most highest rated show ever.

While early episodes followed a Phil Donahue–style exploration of sensationalistic social issues, Winfrey eventually transformed her series into a more positive, spiritually uplifting experience by featuring book clubs, celebrity interviews, self-improvement segments, and philanthropic forays into world events. The show gained credibility by not trying to profit off the products it endorsed; it had no licensing agreement with retailers when products were promoted, nor did the show make any money from endorsing books for its book club.
